Chairs are just an example. This applies to every product that gets a productivity increase from chairs to batteries to apples to computers to planes.

- pjerem 2y agoMy point is that, with the exception of food and possibly medicine, this reasoning applies to basically everything. As an exercise of thought, if we magically stopped the economy now like, everyone stopped working and paying for housing and credit and given a magic influx of food, most humans in the world would not need anything else to be happy for a long time. Of course it’s just an exercice of thought, we do need to replace some objects sometimes, we do need people to fix things. But apart from food, there is barely any object that we would need that isn’t already available somewhere in the world. The thing is, mostly nobody is a farmer : most people in the world are producing or helping producing things we already have.
