Indeed. It's important to teach kids that in this life they're heading into they're going to have to do some things they don't really want to do in exchange for the resources they'll need to do the stuff they do want to do.

At least until AI and automation is fully deployed to every aspect of the economy and we've got UBI to rely on. Then we can all choose to do only things that we want to do. But that may take a little while yet.

There will be that transitory period with AI where we have things we don't want to do to survive with very little access to the things we want to do.

Yeah, probably. My position is that we should rush through that transitory period as fast as we can, because it sucks to be in it but there's a big prize once we get past it.
