Contrary to what a lot of the rich want to push, humans are not lazy layabouts. It's most obvious in the retired. It's great for a while, but then many get bored (or just drop dead). They need something to do. I actually help out with a charity helping with that very issue.

The problem isn't work. The problem is being locked into doing a job you hate, for not enough money, for a huge chunk of your time.

What we actually need to do is let people have more freedom to be productive, in a way that fits them. Though how to get from here to there is the big challenge.
