Do you prefer eternal stagnacy just to keep unskilled jobs?
No judgment towards “unskilled” but some jobs just die out and create new jobs.
The horse’s carts might be gone, but we have cars now with millions of diverse jobs plus legwork.
I prefer a car over a horse-ride.
And a house over a hut.
And mobile phones over smoke-signals or pidgeons.
no, i’m arguing for the opposite. as soon as we have our needs taken care of, we can slow the fuck down and let the machines do the work for us.
we can toil less and less as technological advancements come around, instead of throwing away our privileged lives for making boss richer and richer for no good reason.
That I’d wholeheartedly agree with. We long have reached a state of extreme productivity. Yet the spoils of labour is basically still the same. At least for the 99.9%
We gave up “all-flat-terrain”, carbon neutral, semi-self driving things and got “this road is not paved so I’ll shake you so much that your baby will die”, “created new jobs: climate disaster control”, “just currently getting some self-driving capabilities”.
I’m half-joking of course, cars are great for long distance travel but you could argue humanity would be far better (apart from GDP) if we have no roads in the cities.
