> It is the input that continuously reconstitutes itself around whatever remains scarce, valuable and socially demanded as productivity rises. We’re nowhere near it, but there is a point at which the marginal utility of laborers is worth less than the security risk the laborers represent by continuing to exist. This is already happening with a lot of manufacturing and resource extraction. > This is the lump of labor fallacy- the belief that there’s a fixed amount of economically valuable work that technology and capital can eliminate through automation or capital accumulation instead of transforming it. What if I consider the labor conditions that exist after this transformation to be undignified?
