No one has to work. It's got a nice ring to
it. But what would this species do when they don't have anything to do? Are
they living? Or just surviving because they cannot die? There are people who
make bucket lists, but cannot check all of it because we don't have time or
money (even though it's just an excuse). Now that we have all the time and
money, would we really spend time on checking our bucket list. I think we
would! No one is going to sit idle, that's for sure.
Thing one on my "Would-do" list- Make
a list. A list of things we want to do.
Thing two. Pack my bags. Because i want to
solo travel every place I can. More precisely, I want to visit every single
library/ book house in the world. Even if I cannot read every book. I just want
to spend time around books, any books. Books of knowledge or books of
entertainment. Travel to a city, enter library, pick the first book that grabs
my attention and read it. Read it till I get bored or I finish it and move on
to the next. Next Book or Library, which ever excites me at the moment.
While I am at the whole travelling, I also
wish to taste every single street food of the world. Every country has some
unique kind of street food and tasting each of it would be a dream come true!
This is something that I can do regardless of
the situation in the world! This is living for me, because it's what I want to
do. Doing something we are compelled to do, kills us!
So, eventually when an AI takes over the work
force, my purpose will not change and it will not affect what I want to do.
Even though this is an idealistic situation, I hope humans do not "not do
anything". I hope we all find a passion and actually work on it even if we
don't have to "work" as such.
"Live your life" they say, but are
we actually living? Or are we just not dying?
