We already know what a world without work looks like - By Clara Collier

What happens when AI makes most human work economically unnecessary? Clara Collier argues that a post-work future may be less liberating than it sounds: if jobs stop giving us status, independence and a way to earn respect through what we do, we may fall back on older, more relational social structures built around family, reputation, conformity and who we know. A fascinating argument that work may be doing far more to sustain liberal individualism than we realise.* 00:00 - Introduction* 02:31 - Power and sex among apes* 10:40 - Ladies who lunch* 18:07 - The working classes* 26:44 - Friendship was invented in 18th-century Scotlandhttps://asteriskmag.substack.com/p/we-already-know-what-a-world-without?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Get full access to Askwho Casts AI at askwhocastsai.substack.com/subscribe
