There is a metaphysical reason. As long as those doing the work
experience emotion, participating in a command economy and being
assigned your part in that economy (else, how is it planned) means
that the daily drudgery of work isn't going to be any fun for the
participants. And almost by definition will be less efficient.

So perhaps you are a near-communist in some narrow way... in that
maybe you think individual liberty to choose your occupation is not as
important as a highly efficient state.

With AGI workers, YMMV.
