As a note to the post-scarcity society looming, the 'humans must work 40 hours or they're not worth anything' is a recent development... Working times in middle ages was much more leisurely: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/rauch/worktime/hours_w... -- Including average working days to be 150-175 depending on the century.. W/ robotics, etc...why can't we move back to that..
I think a parent should always be home with child, whether mom or dad. -- I see a rise in home schooling and learning through other ways than schools. A marriage of pre-industrialism and post-scarcity w/ the ability to spend free time coding and working on entrepreneurism, or scientific discovery sounds a lot better than working 9-6 5 days a week to make the next Bill Gates or Mark Z. rich.
