What has capitalism to do with it? It is just division of labor. And upgrading products so they become other products. And i think its fantastic. Because, to be honest, i dont know how to cut trees, how to shredder them, how to make paper out of it, so i can finally apply my skill to draw advertisement on the spam, that you receive.
(Reminds me of old communist days, where you get some gray paper. I was so happy when i got that shiny reflective paper from wrigleys i could glue to my matchbox!:)
- guappa 2y agoDivision of labor? It should just not be done! The entire process I described is a complete waste of resources. But it's "growth" from an economic point of view. If your job is to make things so that I can drop them in the bin… can't you see there's some kind of waste?
- flir 2y agoIt's not solely waste, though. Advertising works. If you can figure out how to separate the waste advertising from the effective advertising, and only spend money on the second segment, The System will reward you with fabulous cash and prizes (in theory).
- okwhateverdude 2y ago> Advertising works. By weaponizing psychology to manipulate people into buying shit they don't need. No one should be trying to figure out how to categorize advertisements between waste and effective. They are all waste.
- flir 2y ago> shit they don't need Any colour you, as long as it's black?
- guappa 2y ago> Advertising works. How? Touching it makes me want to buy whatever is on it? I don't even look at it. When there's enough I do a trip to the paper recycling bin.
- okr 2y agoDepends on the point of view. I think it is awesome that everyone can do something to their abilities AND get paid for it. If drawing would not be needed, all the artists would be basically out of work from one day to another.
