Sure, but in this context I was mostly thinking about how the Singularity will make significant numbers of hours of work optional for most people. UBI might get us there even sooner. We have enough wealth creation already to support reduced work, if we restructure our economy.
Parenting choices look a lot different when families don’t need two people employed to stay afloat.
Productivity gains already haven’t done that. Even if a generalized technological singularity, again, a dubious and entirely baseless claim, there’s no guarantee that it actually achieve any of what you’re describing.
Work to make it happen, don’t bet your future on it.
