Having a job is a relatively new concept in human history

Having a job is a relatively new concept in human history. Prior to the industrial revolution, many people spent their entire day obtaining resources through farming, trading, hunting, etc. And for millennia, humans never thought life would be different.

So why must the concept of a job persist in the upcoming era of unlimited abundance?

Robots, artificial intelligence, 3D printers, drones, and other upcoming technology is about to create a Cambrian Explosion of new ways of life.

These technologies will also result in a deflationary economy, where nearly everything is free. And while it may seem like a foreign concept, not everyone will have a job. Many will be able to pursue life trajectories drastically different than what we can comprehend right now.

And those of us who want to live above the baseline, we will create jobs to obtain additional resources. But a job will no longer be a requirement for survival.
