In the other hand, shouldn't it be the objective of humanity to not HAVE to work for the most basic survival and to fit into society?

Not that we're in any way in that path, of course, with the people making the working machines also accumulating all the wealth. But still, there's something intrinsically good about automation, even when the system is not suited for it.

Not for it to do cognitive work and write and draw while I don dishes and laundry.
