Well, do s/meaning/sustenance, and it's... not that inaccurate. Of course, there is also a fact that many kind of jobs exist, and that, empirically, machines eliminating some kinds of jobs generally lead to creation of new kinds of jobs (and increase of labour demand in the surviving kinds of jobs) so it's not as catastrophic as one might think.

- Joker_vD 2y agoWell, of course it's not hard to make such an argument because it has been made already multiple times throughout the modern history. So while it may very well be true, I am very sceptical about theoretical arguments on this topic: they've been consistently wrong so far.
