If that's your point then why bring up leisure?

Anyway, that's a gross over-generalization with echos of the old Luddite attitudes that we so rightly criticize.

Not only will so many made redundant by productivity gains continue to earn money doing other things, but often those things will have been made possible by the productivity gains themselves.

And the gains in productivity will even unlock more opportunities for leisure, that you were so concerned about.

There will always be folks in difficult situations that society needs to address, but productivity gains also makes that easier as well.

Bring on the productivity gains. Let's not cling to the past out of fear of advancemet.
