We know why we do it. We do it because we live under a system that requires most of us to bleed for our supper. And now tech is being normalized to work like every other job, and techies get to feel the knife. A lot of people are going to be shocked to realize what their actual relationship to capital has always been.
- erikerikson 5mo agoIf we know, why would a lot of us be shocked? Seems contradictory. That's probably too much a troll so while I get that you are grinding your anti-capitalism axe, you're also seeding hopelessness and trapped falsely fatalistic thinking. It has gone this way but it doesn't have to and the whole arrangement is a local optimum with much higher global optima available. In fact there are many of us who have created a parallel life and extend ladders all the time (within our capacity) for others to join us.
