Disconnecting people from meaningful work is already having dire consequences for mental health. "First World Problem"? Maybe. Real, nonetheless. This is only going to get worse, despite utopian fantasies of a permanent vacation.
Back in the dark ages BZ (Before Zuckerberg) and before our collective consciousness was consumed by social media, we called this condition "anomie," which according to Britannica is "a condition of instability resulting from a breakdown of standards and values or from a lack of purpose ..."
I think we can thank unions for alot of this. The demand for higher pay and benefits such as health care. Just think those robots dont miss work and dont need cost of living increases etc etc. These are scary times and the future doesnt look good for our grand kids.
