Two quotes must suffice: Strauss writes to Kojéve about the predicted "end state" that "in the strict sense of the term, there is no more work at all, since nature will have been definitively conquered" (p. 238). And Kojéve later writes to Strauss:

>"The universal and homogeneous state is `good' only because it is the last (because neither war nor revolution are conceivable in it: - mere `dissatisfaction' is not enough, it also takes weapons!)

>In the final state there naturally are no more `human beings' in our sense of an historical human being. The `healthy' automata are 'satisfied' (sports. art, eroticism, etc.), and the `sick' ones get locked up. As for those who are not satisfied with their `purposeless activity' (art, etc.), they are the philosophers (who can attain wisdom if they `contemplate' enough). By doing so they become `gods' (p. 255, emphasis in original).
