An open question
Meaning
Abundance without being needed
Imagine a future in which everyone is safe and materially comfortable, but only one person in eight has work anyone needs. Is that a good ending?
Material security may answer one human need while leaving another unresolved.
The live positions
Starting shores, not a quiz — the question stays open.
- 1Yes — survival and abundance was the whole game; being needed was never the point
- 2Only if something real replaces being needed — and I'm not sure anything does
- 3No — a life that requires nothing of you is a quieter kind of loss
