Reply to comment by Kiryln in How will you spend your time if/when AGI means you no longer have to work for a living (but you still have your basic needs met such as housing, food etc..)? by DreaminDemon177

Yes, but the work we'll do will be fundamentally different. One summer I'll build a garden. That winter I'll learn carpentry and build a chair. Since I don't have to use my carpentry to survive I can do things which interest me and when I'm bored of it I can move into something else. We will definitely DO things but we'll do them because we want to and they make us happy rather than because someone is forcing us to on pain of death.

That’s what I mean, that’s what some users here misunderstand.

I think it was the mention of retirees going back to work that made everyone think you were on the side of people need bosses and paychecks to feel valuable.
