What does that mean societally? • Fuck if I know. I ain’t no futurist, kid! (Is anyone?) • I would say it probably will require some type of reinvention and some type of political and legal investment in what the gig economy means, so that more people can operate as what we currently think of as 1099s, but with a better net. • Maybe it ends up not being a problem with Baby Boomer professional exodus + low fertility rate, numbers-wise — and then we ain’t gotta worry! I mean, isn’t there a “skills gap” at present? (No.) • If you remove work as a source of activity from men especially, you’re going to see two paths — a bunch of men will ideally go do stuff with their hands and become carpenters (“The Jesus Revolution”) and then a bunch of dudes will find ways to make money here and there and alternate between gym, potential fatherhood, and the bar (“The Hybrid Masculinity Approach”). Guys derive a lot of relevance from work, even if don’t always openly admit that. You gradually reduce full-time work options, you got a “male relevance” problem. Know how guys tend to solve for relevance? Sex, alcohol, and heavier weights. Maybe some board-cutting. And in a few random cases, blogging or poetry. (I’m an unique snowflake. Come at me.) • More: • / what-happens-if-and-when-the-full-time-job...
