Yes, this article's frame is horrific. Like a "glitch in the matrix" moment that illustrates something really wrong with our society, ridiculous ideologies which infect us all.
"If there's ever a sign that a society is organized really stupidly, it's that the prospect that actual manual labor being eliminated is a problem. If we don't know what to do with freedom and liberty... that’s pretty messed up."

What jobs do we squander our lives with? 37% of British workers think their jobs are meaningless. ("Bullshit jobs" is the technical term. The anthropologist who popularized it thought only 25% would've described their job as meaningless.)

- Asbostos 11y agoYes, we have this weird notion that people "need" a job and "deserve" a job. But work is something people actually don't want! We might need or deserve an income, but not a job. I've worked hard to reduce the amount of work I have to do. Now I only work part time but I'm still in my 30's and have the same income as many other people my age. I hope to reduce that even further as time goes on. If we really end up with nothing to do but desperately need to be forced to work, maybe forced labor camps would solve the problem </s>
