Sounds great

I would do something similar

But I would write, write a lot

I'd work on what needed to be worked on, but I wouldn't be selling my labour at an unfair price under the threat of poverty to someone who skims off the value of my labour to play Number Go Up games.

Work isn't unpleasant. Being robbed (stolen from under coercion) is unpleasant.

Take the dogs to the beach. Hang with family. Eat out. Fix up the homestead.

BTW, I recently retired after a long career and I found that all the warnings about boredom, loneliness, etc., were a crock. At least for me, I've been able to fill up the time.

Was it Mark Twain in his Tom Sawyer story that mentioned, "Work is only work, if you have to do it"

I think we need to define work.
Block me now, I'm about to ramble LOL

The boss who sits at the desk all day while worker bees fill the truck, is he working? Not if you ask the manual laborers. So, this could be subjective.

Work, for financial gain, would not be necessary but those trees I grow won't plant themselves.. I'll be digging the holes. If I didn't have to, I'd still want to.

It would also make us lazy, anything we wanted to do but nothing we had to do
And someone has to tear apart the clock radio so someone else can learn to fix it

@si_irini I would do what I do for work, except not exactly that

write software I enjoy rather than software that is useful for some company
contribute to Debian and/or other Free Software projects

and then all of the other crafts I already do in my free time (including documenting what I do and publishing it under free licenses)

Very good question.

Of course I would!

What I would run away from in a jiffy, and what I strongly feel is superfluous and holding us down even now, is not work, but *meaningless* work and subservience.

I don't know much about Star Trek - but even if all material goods could be made without labour, services will still have to be provided.

I'm still going to be teaching. :)

If there was no "work" at all, I'd write bad poetry and grow plants and yap with my friends. Maybe cool and eat delicious food. The things I do *after* work.

@floreana

Sounds good

@hypebot

Work, but in a very different way. Following my desires and creativity, without pressure.

I would write more

@Pierrette

Perfectly said!!! 💯

@DoubleTreble

I understand the part about going crazy 😆

I think it's great that you do so much, and the volunteer work is really awesome too ❤️

Hey, a book club too, I really like that.
I hope I finish writing my book and then I'll shamelessly suggest that you include it 🙈
So far, there's a lot to read, but I've been stuck in a writing slump for so long and haven't posted anything.

What kind of books do you read in your club?

@falcennial

That sounds great.

I would write much more...and that would make me feel so free.
It wouldn't be work anymore.

@morgan

I think that's great.
Sounds very good.

Many people would do something for the common good, and I think that's incredibly wonderful.

@nini

That's right, most people want some kind of work.

I would also write a lot more
and many others feel the same way. Many would do community service.
Sooner or later, most people would do something.

I'd work, but on stuff that's waaaay more fun than writing extensions for MS products lol.

I'd probably build houses and/or some variety of very light but highly practical electric + human power hybrid vehicles

Having this freedom is utopian, but it's still great.
