> do you want her to be unemployed instead?
Yes.
Compassion and reason both repel me, as a humanist and computer
scientist, from the thought of another human being pointlessly wasting
her life for the mere "necessity" of money to live because broken
software has become an excuse for this.
It is an inhuman spectacle, and the notion of "employment" here is so
weak as to have no force in the argument. An unemployed person at
least has the opportunity to redefine their life, whereas one who is
tricked daily into believing their bullshit job is "valuable" is being
robbed, no matter the remuneration.
Further, as a technical person, it disgusts me to see the tools we
created so comprehensively misused by idiots who are unable to
intelligently deploy them - or rather deploy them as instruments of
abuse rather than for human development and progress.
- ThrowAway1922A 3y agoIt's hard to believe this is an actual opinion a human holds and it wreaks of someone who has never gone through particularly hard times. Redefine their life? Good luck doing that when you suddenly don't have an income because you were automated out of employment. People who are able to recover from these events and reinvent themselves are the exception. Any job is better than no job and it's not your place to judge the value of someone's life. If said person is making an income, can tolerate their job, and enjoys their time outside of work that's all anyone can really ask for.
