I think most of the cetaceans living in our oceans have already achieved
this state of evolution. The late and great Douglas Adams, author of the
series "hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" commented that dolphins needed to
only work about 3 hours a day to feed themselves. The rest of the day was
spent playing and mating among themselves. They thought it was very silly
that humans typically spent 40 hours or more a week to earn their keep. No
wonder they eventually left us with the parting comment: So long, and thanks
for all the fish!
