I wish we would already have an automated society so that I could do more of "Sit Back and Chill".
Instead, I'm preparing my Self to help build this new society. When we are ready to implement it, I'll be ready!
Anyone here read that book 2150 AD ?
I have read it (actually a few times--I do that with fiction I like). It is a great book. The author has a Macro Society in Arizona where they discuss the concepts, last I knew. I have not checked it out.
I read it the first time in the early eighties as a recommendation from a coworker, and I still like it.

Actually, I think doing can be being. What I mean is that when you are doing something you are totally present with, it turns into a sort of being, a kind of meditation. One good example is art: when an artist is painting there is a moment when they are so into it that time suspends and the world "goes away."
