@Snooder said:Nobody needs to work, and everyone has all the food, shelter, etc they need.
Actually I'm fairly certain that humans do have an innate "need" to work - which is part of the conundrum about the idea of "post-scarcity" society.
@Snooder said:Then some asshole ruins it all because he thinks people are "too lazy" and he's worried about the declining birth rate.
I don't even think it has to be someone ruining things for a grandiose cause: some people would want to ruin others' days just because they get off on ruining people's days. No amount of technology is going to "fix" that unless you believe that all such things are an "illness" and forcibly preventing people from behaving in some way is acceptable behavior - but we have lots of books on that topic, too.

But... but... that would mean a repo full of...BRANCHES!
Fuck, you're right. And then, the next thing you know, there would be tags, too.
