Too bad the prerequisite is people being selfless and working for the common good for free, which ain't ever gonna happen. Unless we get robots to do all the work people don't want to do for free.

Actually, even then...
1. Somebody needs to design, build, and program the robots.
2. Robots can and will break down, and somebody needs to be able to repair them.
These things can't easily be replaced with robots (doing so would require strong AI), and even then, the wrong kind of malfunction could result in human intervention being necessary.

Well, I've been struggling with a lot of questions of similar scope lately. Anyone that read my thread about how I hated my job and ended up fired from it about a month ago, knows I'm currently stuck trying to figure out what to do with my life because I'm not really interested in continuing my current line of work (even though there are plenty of jobs in it in my city), and I can't quite get interested in the things my psychologist tells me should interest me because of my profile, at least not in a way I feel motivated to plan ahead and follow said plan.
On my last therapy session (two weeks ago), my psychologist gave me a sheet of paper to do a simple plan ahead of what I want to accomplish in my life and I still haven't written a single word on it.
I've also been trying to write a book to try some self publishing, and I was going somewhat well, even if not completely smoothly, but I somehow lost my drive somewhere in these last two weeks. It got me thinking that I still don't know what drives me forward, into accomplishing things.
So I believe that this mysterious Drive is the one thing I need to figure out to follow ahead and find the ultimate purpose of ultimate destiny in my life.
