I agree with @BlokchainB  work is an inherent part of existence. I also agree with @lauren , I would like to offer another idea into the conversation: what if the purpose of work has been abstracted, and maybe, the way we create jobs and gigs is what kills us. 

 Yes work has been abstracted from survival to the accumulation of stuff and entertainment. This explains why Americans are so hyper focused on retirement. We have blown past needing enough to sustain it’s all about getting more and more
