What is this labor, no labor thing. Do you think sentient beings work much? Their life is more of a case of the pursuit of self actualization and hedonism,I am sure. And in a few years we will have quantum computers trillions of times stronger than what we have today, and using the quantum realities like entanglement, we will be communicating with those sentient beings, who will show us realities that will make todays realities look like a time when we rode horses rather than drove cars. I don't think any form of belief system knows shit. We just got out of the jungle and are pretty new to this civilization stuff. We only ended slavery 150 years ago and segregation 50 years ago. That makes us pretty primitive in my eyes. We are dealing with an infinite universe, so I prefer starting from the point that I know nothing and the more I learn the less I know. I use to suspect life is an illusion, but now I am sure of it. So how does one live their life under those assumptions? Two or three axioms taken on faith is all I use. Be kind. Try to contribute to society, be one of the "good guys" and believe nothing. Which frees me up for a pretty hedonistic life; with a clear conscience.
