I'm not worried about people's well being, the rise of technology, we can simply increase public services with it, we can give everyone health care. We can have free public housing, we can make food, commodities, phone service, internet all free, the hard challenge is then what do we do with people, what do people do, when they don't need anything. It makes game designer, artists, writers, actors, story tellers, the most important jobs of the future. Host/go on podcasts, draw a comic, level up a character in a game, it's not much of an existence, but it's at least something. It's hard to overcome the feeling of what you're doing is unfulfilling because it's fake. Why exist just to progress in things that aren't real. If we could live forever would we even want to, maybe immortality would be bearable if you were mortal, if your body could die, because there's always a possibility you won't. so you would then be tasked with controlling every conceivable threat across every conceivable universe, giving you a constant task and challenge, living under a permanent state of threat so you can't be conscious of your own mortality.
