We are on our way toward a society where machines and robots will do most of these hard labor tasks for us. Someday, maybe 400 to 1,000 years from now we won't have to lift a finger to survive. All the food and products will be produced with minimum human labor, which will allow for more time to think, invent, travel, educate ourselves, and enjoy life to the fullest. We are not at that point yet, but we're closer to that goal than we were even 50 years ago.
Well, that's what was told to the underclass when the industrial revolution started. Didn't happen. And when women joined the "work force". Didn't happen. And when robotics and computers began to gain power in the 70's. Didn't happen. What happens is that the rich get richer and the commoners work harder and harder for less wealth. Check it out.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
I agree. But theory is not the same as real life.
Sometimes you gotta give it some elbow grease.
The work ethic in this country has seriously suffered
as a result of academics trying to convince everyone
they can live by theory alone.
There was a poll I saw a year or two ago that asked young
people what they wanted to do. 50% or so said they were gonna be
famous singers or actors. I personally think this is a product of a failed
education system telling people they are "special" and can do whatever
they'd like.
Our priorities are messed up.(USA Today)
We all can get rich in an abundance paradigm. I think that goal is awesome! If 81% have that goal, the abundance paradigm will bring them to their goal. extra DIV
