Reality has a way of not giving a crap about what parents want. Why can’t people be laborers regarding their basic needs some times, and academics sometimes?

It’s a pretty traditional values “I am king now and forever” notion to think one life one career.
There’s nothing biological preventing a rotation between work over our lives.
And many philosophers too have warned about division of labor making for a society of ignorant humans. Following orders rather than their curiosity.
IMO first worlders who can should. You’re not a god and the billions that outnumber us are catching up fast. Pointing big guns at them and saying “lol, no” isn’t gonna work forever.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoWhy don’t we want manual labourers? Because they are weaker and less efficient than machines. If I had the choice and can afford to choose between a person picking fruit and a machine picking fruit, I will pick the machine. A human will get sick. A machine won’t. A human needs breaks and insurance and have to be paid. Machines don’t. If a human is broken, a life is affected. If a machine breaks down, it can be repaired and sent to the fields to work again. Also, I can depreciate a machine as a deduction. When a human ‘depreciates’ for someone to profit from that, it is a crime against our own species. I am a god in my farm because I own it. I don’t know any farmer who would pick unreliable, easily breakable, under paid(if they have a conscience, it should bother them) human worker over reliable machines because the prime directive of a business is to stay viable and profitable. The farmer wants to make a profit and hopefully in an ethical and sustainable manner. Human workers for repetitive manual unskilled jobs is not sustainable.
