    Agree. I’m not sure if the grocery store clerk will be a human in that scenario and not a robot… But I’d like to live and see humanity arrive at some post-scarcity utopia like Star Trek. Where everyone can choose to do whatever they like, because all the basic needs are met. And all the mundane tasks are done by automation. I’d certainly learn a lot. There are some skills and languages that’d I’d like to try or maybe even master.

      Sure, the clerk might be a robot. Just pointing out that even though you might not pursue a career in theoretical physics there might be people who are very interested in it anyway.
