I probably agree with the essay's argument that the gig economy (or maybe, more specifically, a particular set of dystopian ads for it) is a sign of the apocalypse. It's just that, as you say, I don't think the gig economy is causing it.
- jacobush 10y agoWell put this's what I meant in my other comment
- jMyles 10y agoI'm disputing more. I'm saying: 1) There is no apocalypse (and if there were, it'd be climate change or antibiotic-resistant bacteria, not side hustles) 2) "Unfettered capitalism" is not a sufficiently broad or complex boogeyman to blame what ills we do have in society 3) The gig economy is probably not a particularly accurate sign of #1 or #2, and if it were, it's more a sign that things are going in a better direction.
