Comment on Interesting and probably true
umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 day agono there isn’t unlimited work we HAVE to do. we are just slaves of the system tightly controlling our work, so people can profit massively off of our work.
nothing says we can’t slow the fuck down.

To cRazi_man’s point there is some work that does needs to be done in order to ensure everyone has food, water, shelter, healthcare, free of poison, etc.
However the vast majority of human labor does not go towards those goals and is instead dedicated to who can get the highest score in ‘slave games’ while that necessary work is grossly undermanned.
It’s not “unlimited” but holy shit is there a lot of damage from the last ~200 years that needs to be undone. Learning and teaching people to rest is a very important one.
