One of the (main?) reasons why we still remember philosophers from ancient Greece: They had time to think, converse, discuss and articulate. They had this time because the ideal citizen (= free man) didn't work, or at least not hard. They had slaves to do that.
We could, at least partly, have the same luxury today. Even without the moral concerns! We have #technology: robots, algorithms, “#AI”.
Imagine if we had built societal systems where people rejoiced that those took over their labour.
