No, that sounds like the pitch from some weird sadist
Comment on Anon interviews for a job
Comment105@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoWhy do that when you can provide jobs to the needy?
Making people do work is inherently valuable even if it’s unnecessary, monotonous, pointless, soul crushing work, is it not?

We can’t be feeding people who do no work. It is much better that they be put to it than have the task “solved” by some brainiac who would rob them of the fulfillment of employment.

This guy is definitely trolling

I would not joke about this, these are the serious affairs of adult men and women, who could and should do their best to contribute to our civilization.
Where would we be as a society if those who craft advertisements were instead free to to roam about doing as they please all day? I’ll be dead before we are a nation of aimless frolickers.

But we could.
who would rob them of the fulfillment of employment.
A boring job isn’t fulfilling and mental underload leads to burnout.
There’s exactly one reason to do work: getting living money. If you can make a living from your hobby or your job is otherwise fulfilling, that’s nice for you.

You should get rid of your “work or die” mentality.

Dear Tawk, I hope you’ll realize that we can not permit grown men to be like babes suckling their nation’s teet. They should rather be creative in their difficult situation, learn programming, contribute to the mobile gaming market. Make themselves useful.

Dude don’t be lying. Nobody who makes mobile games is being useful.
areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
I mean some mobile games are fun, just not all of them. If we removed the profit motive they could be a lot more fun probably.

All professions are useful. That’s why they’re professions.

Any work done that could’ve been automated is a waste of human life IMO. They could be spending that time doing jobs that aren’t automated.

He was not wrong, reducing shovel size is a great way to even out productivity to include those who would be otherwise unemployed.
spongebue@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
That’s a false choice if I ever heard one. Surely reasonably-paced increases in productivity could spawn job creation in other areas? And while modern-day capitalism is not exactly encouraging this, maybe we can take advantage of less manpower needed to make society function by having less time working (with a similar quality of life) for all? If there were only so many employment hours available, there are ways of distributing that other than raising the unemployment rate or artificially lowering it.

Sounds like you want all those hands to idle longer.
