[Describe panel here]

In the near future all work will be automated.

The gains will be vast humans will live a life of unimaginable luxury with the opportunity to spend life studying philosophy and poetry

This will wreak a terrible psychological toll whyp because we won't actually read all that philosophy and poetry and we will feel guilt if robots are doing all the work and everyone is taken care of the problems in your life are all clearly your fault

Therefore, I propose a major innovation in automation! Instead of robot servants we should make robot bosses in fact. Douchey robot bosses

Drbs don't leave you enough time to do things you care about that's why you haven't read the entire loeb classical library.

Work smarter and harder ,

Drbs will give you contradictory notes, will demand unreasonable deadlines, then be personally late on everything this will make you so mentally taxed that you'll have to watch four hours of tv every night while eating a tube of cookie dough

Why were you mean to your spouse this week? Certainly not because you're a selfish jerk! You were overwhelmed by how condescending your drb was.

And you cantune your boss's level of douchery to afford you just the right amount of leeway

Want to spend two hours eating cheesecake for lunch? Set your boss to really cross the line this time.

Want a long vacation? Have your boss unreasonably fire you? You've earned a break, man!

No more 3-hour lunches

Do

Look, humans are broken. We can't live a life of happiness unless we can convince ourselves we'l earned it."

Automated douchey bosses will take the choice out of our hands they will function as a "guilt thermostat, allowing us to blamelessly indulge in as much pleasure as we can stand

Couldn't we just like, work on ourselvesp like, be more at peace with life and its vicissitudes?

Literally everyone who ever succeeded at that got poisoned stabbed or crucified it's time to move on!
