Here's the groups of people I think might form when work no longer becomes compulsory for survival (and these groups would likely overlap): - Those who still work, but now as more of a form of leisure/entertainment - Those who fully immerse themselves in fun and entertainment, taking on more adventurous opportunities - Those who get into self-reflection and cultivation, improving themselves in skill and spirit - Those who engage in more altruistic acts to help others, now that their own basic needs can be satisfied easily But as mentioned, automation does need to come in to take the brunt of the industrial load off the people's backs, or the demand for human labor would still be too strong to allow everybody the option to survive without work. And even then, it would be a bumpy ride trying to accommodate the people with skills made redundant because of the automation of the affected industries.
