This isn’t your college or work place break room. If people are saying something you disagree with you can just say it and you won’t be fired or ostracized for it. Yeah, people will probably get angry and say mean things to you but those are just words which can be ignored. Offence is taken, not given.

This is mostly for the lurkers who upvote unpopular opinions but don’t comment. You can speak up - you’re not alone.

    I think working is bad for human health. I don’t get when people cheer about “creating workplaces”; that’s the worst that could happen. I think that humans will be kept as workforce for the economy as long as it is needed. So, economic growth leads to new workplaces and that’s a bad thing. I don’t get how people cherish growth.

    Apart from that, there’s nothing that can be done to stop growth because growth is actually a very powerful spirit that is more powerful than human intervention, so it’s not like a society “chooses to grow” - that’s just an unavoidable necessity in my eyes.

    Also, most human workers will (!) be replaced by AI in the next 15 years or so, and that’s a good thing. We need to de-normalize working for your basic human right to life, and establish Universal Basic Income - which will only be successful if enough people see that there’s not so much work to be done anymore and that creating actual social welfare programs is unavoidable. I’m mostly just waiting for this development myself because I do bad (and I mean, really bad) in the workforce of today.
