Retirement.
life of leisure.
Sure I'll probably still find something useful to do. maybe even productive. But. It'll be my choice and not a job.
The best job I could ever hope for would let me find arbitrary projects to work on, at whatever pace I'm comfortable with. Doing the same type of work day after day will get boring/tiring for me no matter what it is, no matter how complex or simple, how isolated or social.
I've basically started picking up random productive hobbies around my day job that take over my life until I finish them or the grind of life obligations makes me put it down to be forgotten.
I'm curious where we'll be if we can move towards a future with a living wage UBI and people can choose to be productive in whatever way suits them. How would people fill their time?
