Most people working at such mundane repetitive jobs already behave and feel like machines anyway. Do you really think they feel happy and fulfilled, or even see a way out?
- maqnius 5y agoYou are right about the majority of those jobs, I guess. I maybe shouldn't have brought in the quality of the job here. I actually wanted to make a point against reducing social interactions in everyday life, especially with people outside of our bubble. But well, I don't really see a way out, that wouldn't be completely illusive at this point, like, valuing well being of humans and nature over productivity gains and because-we-can in technology. That doesn't justify worsen the situation though. As for me, I try to go only shopping in independent and ecological grocery shops, because of the products and because of the more welcoming atmosphere. Working there is not so bad, it's actually quite nice mostly (I can tell from experience).
