You’re more than welcome to come pitch in. I feel like it has a lot to do with how someone’s currently handling their burdens. If you’re thriving now, fundamental change is a threat. If you’re struggling, there’s room to see it as salvation. I think it sounds lovely to be warm and have enough to eat, and am quite confident I could find another goal should those suddenly be achieved. Maybe it’s just the grass being greener as usual :p
I didn’t mean it as a callout or gotcha, just seemed relevant to the potential appeal of having them met by a machine. I certainly wouldn’t feel lost or directionless in that scenario, there’s so much I want to do but can’t now. Liberation from the chop wood/carry water processes that occupy more time than I’ve got would unlock so much potential
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Would you say most of your material needs are met now? I’m somewhat behind on mine, and freedom from the constant struggle of not quite meeting them sounds (and is) too good to be true. I’m not against offloading that burden to a machine in principle or out of an attachment to want itself, I’m against it because that machine has been well-proven not to be acting in our best interests or capable of shouldering that burden even if its operators would ever allow it
Ok first off “post scarcity” is never going to happen, we are the resource their system extracts from and it will never give anything back. But if it did somehow, if we built a loving god? That’d be dope as hell. If you genuinely don’t have interests beyond your needs to pursue right now I hope you find some. There’s nothing hedonistic or degenerate (nazi buzzword btw) about passion and engagement. What gives your life meaning beyond meeting those needs as-is?
This is the way
At this point the “mask” is so off we’re just being mocked by a skull
Happens to the best of us. I’m just glad it’s a glitch not a crisis, and temporary not permanent :)
Thank you for your service, and thanks for the update. Would an IP KVM help here? Know some of them can cycle power remotely, and they’re getting a lot cheaper
Omg, me too!!!
