I may look like I'm being intentionally dense, but the question is still worth asking: why is progress that important, and this, at all costs? One could argue perfection is better than progress, and that extreme automation could be "perfection".

Lasts posts are off-topic and exactly the opposite of what I want to discuss - this is just a reflexion on sci-fi, not a political debate!
I have a hard time believing in the "everyone's having fun forever, nobody needs to work!" theory, simply because jobs would not ALL disappear at once. Leaders would likely be the last ones to disappear... or would simply never disappear. And if leaders don't need anyone they are ruling over, what prevents them from basically going fully abusive? That makes the idea much less attractive, doesn't it? :P

Welcome to your daily useless ramblings about society, politics, and hypothetical situations!
I'm curious to see what you guys think about the consequences of sci-fi extreme automation (i.e. robots replacing most jobs). Past simple unemployment issues, do you think there would be a deeper alteration? I came to the conclusion that it would, but I'd like to see your thoughts first.
