Many posters in this thread seems to be "one dimensional men" (to use Marcuse's term), in that consumption of leisure is idolized in lieu of productive work. Why? How is humanity any better off by lazy, now unemployed Westerners watching television or creating lovely apps instead of finding solutions to global warming, combating resource depletion, fixing demographic crises, developing new sources of energy, fighting religious and national extremism, etc.

Humanity has, and will always have unlimited problems to deal with. It's unclear why we should all succumb to the capitalist paradigm and only live to produce, or alternatively, to consume. Go out and live!
