    I believe that once the useless/unproductive jobs are gone, people are free to do what they love to do ( as there is no threat of starvation) , there will be inventions (robots for example) to take care of tasks such as cleaning septic tanks , better designs reducing need for cleaning or even newer tech to do away with septic tanks.

        Thing is a ton of people who could be thinking are instead forced to do repetitive labor for a living. While the automated septic cleaning robot probably won’t happen, I’m sure we’ll see waste reduction after allowing them to think instead of just survive

      First of all I believe it’d be prudent to invent the slave robots and food replicators first, not just “hope someone invents them now that they’re bored.”

      Furthermore I am fairly certain robotics and science-fictional tech would require highly skilled engineers who would have to go to school for it now that they’re “bored.” You can’t just be like “well I’m bored because I’m no longer a plumber I think I’ll invent a time machine.”
