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.
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.
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.
They are absolutely trolling. Check the examples they use in their comments: “advertisers” and another comment pointed to “Mobil game development” specifically as important and useful work.
Poes law at work with them, they’re pretty convincing that they are serious while still leaving little hints that they are messing around.
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.
No, there’s definitely a lot of professions that are completely pointless or even counterproductive.
Receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants, store greeters, lobbyists, corporate lawyers, telemarketers, public relations specialists, middle managers, literally every job in insurance. I could go on.
Why 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?
another greentext for you
He was not wrong, reducing shovel size is a great way to even out productivity to include those who would be otherwise unemployed.

Sounds like you want all those hands to idle longer.
No, that sounds like the pitch from some weird sadist

I thought you were joking when I first read that
This guy is definitely trolling

Imagine all the science we could do if scientists didn’t have to worry about funding to stay alive.

Why are you simping for billionaires?

Right? The “craft advertisements” was definitely the one that is for punctuation of their trolling but I’ll give it the downvotes they want.
But we could.

You should get rid of your “work or die” mentality.
We have plenty of resources. We don’t need it anymore.
Aside you’d literally die if there is no work
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.
Bait used to be believable.
Standards used to be higher because they had to be. I get to relax a little, shoot from the hip.
Dude don’t be lying. Nobody who makes mobile games is being useful.
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.

You can’t even name ten.
Don’t you have something better to do with your time?
Maybe I’d forage if it wasn’t for the grocer.
Any work done that could’ve been automated is a waste of human life IMO.
