Not doing anything you don’t want to do

 Anything you don’t want to do, but “have” to do because of any number of reasons - societal norms, religion, culture, bodily needs, responsibilities etc. - is a shame.  That is a bold statement, I know. I don’t mean to say that you should drop all those things you don’t want to do. That would be immoral in many cases. What i am saying is that those are the areas where progress can happen and if it continues we might have a way of life where we never have to do anything that we don’t want to do (unless not doing it is immoral). All the things we have to do today (which we don’t want to) are problems which will be solved and automated or eliminated with progress (ie creation of knowledge) in science and philosophy. There include things like having to work for money, having to exercise to maintain health, having to eat “healthy”, having to take care of children etc. etc.
