Amazing to see someone celebrating helplessness for the masses.

  I don't think this is a resolvable conflict in general; one person's division of labor is someone else's helplessness. I think it's crazy that some people don't cook. Like every house and apartment comes with a kitchen, what do you mean you don't use it? "It's so much cheaper" I say ignoring the fact that I'm a cooking and baking enthusiast and so I'm not counting the fact that if I valued my time at any reasonable rate it's really not. It's the same thing in the woodworking community -- "you'll save so much money, anything you see in the store I can make half as good, for twice the price!"

    > Like every house and apartment comes with a kitchen, what do you mean you don't use it? Traditionally in urban areas most people actually purchased food instead of making it, because most people did not have kitchens. You can kind of still see that today; many old New York tenements have been converted into apartments with "kitchens", but really this usually describes something about the size of an airplane bathroom with a stove, a fridge and 1 counter.

  Is giving the people the freedom to do what they want and not focus on the pedantry of things they're not interested in "celebrating helplessness", or is it getting work for the sake of work out of the way?

  Not sure if you're directing this comment at me, but I'm surely not celebrating it, merely observing it as a fact.
