so you sit and dream of doing a JOB all day and all your life, and not a hobby or something you love doing?

Literally not what was said in any way shape or form. Mind boggling response actually.

Society is built on and by labor.

It doesn't need to be.

We're on the cusp of ending that miserable paradigm

It will be gone in a couple of decades if people just let it die

it's what the meme was referring to

I guess I don't understand people who aren't passionate about creating things. All my best dreams are about creative work I would do if I didn't have to earn a living doing something else.

Even something I like doing I would quickly grow to resent if it was something I needed to do

The meme is a laughable one. "Going to rethink my life."

I mean no actually, that isnt how it works in reality. Most of us DO have to have a job, so why not have it be our 'dream job'.

Yes, its still a job. Thats how the world works.

Great. Until then you're going to need to pay for using people's intellectual property.

Step 1: Steal intellectual property.

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Society no longer requires labor!

Honestly I just cannot even fathom the thought process at this point in my life.

Today is Canada day, so I ran around and did a bunch of stuff.

This required:

Gas. Labour extracts this, processes this, transports this, and I $$ pay for it.
Car. Labour extracts the materials, processes those materials, fabricates it, and puts it together. ALL those people are getting paid, and I then $$$$$ pay for the car. Oh, and I maintain it with more $$.

Landscaping material. Same story. Extraction, processing, transport, storage! All for the privlage of me $$$$ paying for it.

Home to landscape! $$$$$$$$$$$$

And where does all that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ come from?

My labour.

If people want to believe in some hilarous utiopia where somehow....people are just hauling rocks for fun? Extracting minerals/ore for fun? Nobody gets paid? Nobody works?

idealism/optimism is for kids huh?

And Star Trek, yes.

 

[trappedslider]

And Star Trek, yes.

let me ask you this, do you plan to keep working till you die? Or would you rather retire and work on RPG related stuff? If you had an actual choice that is.

I never had a dream job growing up, I never wanted to be anything in particular.

Great. Until then you're going to need to pay for using people's intellectual property.

Then we're going to be waiting a LONG time, because people's resistance to automation is the main thibg holding a post-scarcity society back

How about instead we go on replacing jobs with machines until society finally admits that human labor is obsolete and stops demanding it
