To the Editor:
Bill Gates wonders what
will happen once science is able to fulfill the dream of providing us all
“longer, healthier, happier lives” and people “no longer need to work in order
to feed and clothe everyone.” If one assumes that human beings are
fundamentally creative, then we will spend our time creating things of beauty
or goodness and sharing them with one another. I prefer to assume that each
person has the fundamental irrepressible desire to give love to the greatest
effect imagined. People would spend their time helping others, working toward
the present or
the future of a community or the whole planet.
