This is MAME world, you know. MAME.
Resource-based is beyond socialism. Einstein is not a relevant example. His achievements were thought-based, not industrially-based. He could've done those things in a hole in Africa. In fact, in a leisure society, MORE people would have the opportunity to do exactly what he spent most of his time doing - without the need to worry about it.
Of course, there would be no 'professional' sports. No TV programming people would spend ridiculous hours on. No fast food. Etc.
More quality time spent between others, very likely. Cooperation rather than competition. Less jealousy - and hence less monogamy, too. Shall I go on? Are we into bin territory yet?
