Does that really matter? Most people who consider themselves to be "contributing" aren't really accomplishing much in the grand scheme of things anyway.

- lliamander 7y agoYou don't need to "accomplish much in the grand scheme of things" to provide value to others and feel appreciated.
- barbecue_sauce 7y agoBut not to the point where you should guilt others for "not contributing".
- lliamander 7y agoI would rather them feel guilty than feel entitled to the fruits of others' labor.
- barbecue_sauce 7y agoWhat fruits? What labor? My point is that most people's labor bears no actual fruit.
- lliamander 7y agoSome people are certainly employed in pointless jobs, but the idea that this is true for the majority is doubtful. And for those people who's labor is pointless, the solution is to have more meaningful work, not idleness. I can think of no more pointless form of labor that to toil away for whatever bureaucracy that would be responsible for administering this harebrained scheme.
