Considering the Fact that 'money' and the 'want of more money' are completely UNNECESSARY things in Life, ANY concern about, or over, jobs and money is also a completely UNNECESSARY thing, in Life.
It's true that "money" and "the want of more money" are not basic needs; Maslow's hierarchy of needs doesn't include them. Most of us, though, rely on having money to get what we need, like food, drink, a place to live, safety, socializing, and everything else. Also, most of us make money by going to work and getting paid. In that situation, which most of us live in, "money" and "the want of more money" become important drives and motivations to look for a good-paying job and get the qualifications for it.

However, in a world where technology is sufficiently advanced and energy is abundant, neither people nor money are required.

It does NOT matter what one person's 'hierarchy' included or did not include.

It is true because 'it is true'. Full stop.

Does what 'most of you' want make 'things' more true or less true?

Talk about ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE of only being able to SEE 'the world' through the most slimiest and narrowest of perspectives.

WHO CARES what 'most of you' do?

'Most of you' ABUSE 'the world' that you live in, (and coincidentally because of your 'want of money'), but does this make 'going to work and getting paid' any MORE right, in Life?

If you do NOT need some 'thing' and it is the 'want of that thing', which is CAUSING 'the problem or issue', then 'trying to' "justify" what you DO 'to obtain more money', is nothing more than just ANOTHER EXCUSE.

We can ALL SEE what you ARE DOING.

What you are NOT SEEING is that what you ARE DOING, and 'trying' SO HARD to "justify" is just NOT WORKING.

You ALL can keep 'trying to' "justify" any or all of your Wrong behaviors in Life. But it is NEVER, REALLY, going to work.

LOL

You seem to be MISSING the WHOLE POINT.

People AND money have NEVER been 'required', EVER.

By the way, energy is also ALWAYS abundant.
