“The rise of robotics and AI raises the urgent
question of how to live without work. What makes this prospect so daunting is
that we've come to equate our humanity with the capability for productivity and
purposeful motion. The concept that the value and which means of our existence
is barely validated by what we obtain is what makes it so troublesome to
expertise an actual sense of peace. We really feel embarrassed and self-conscious
to be seen doing nothing.” —Psychoanalyst Josh Cohen, “How to Avoid Burnout
Over Christmas,” The Financial Times,
