I would have liked to have been at that discussion. Ah well, can't be everywhere at once - know anyone who's archived a transcript (maybe? oh, how this girl can dream??), for instance? Surely their discussions highlighted some of why we're not living in a work-free future vision of our early science fiction literature? (I want my jetpack!! *grin*)
I hadn't thought about this point you make, well, two points really, pre-industrial age attitudes (I think, in talking to dear_hubby, the word "Calvinist", his Dutch-person code for the same set of attitudes, slipped out) and an interaction of price-of-necessities with the values expressed in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I can't quite explicate them for myself, so if you'd had a chance to think some more on this in a post, I bet you'd find a ready audience.
