This kind of arguments is at risk of being condescending. It is perfectly respectable to spend you day working on boring tasks just to get a pay check. In fact a lot of more desirable jobs have large amounts of drudge, admin, and pointless meetings. That is a consequence of doing activities in a group for something greater than your own vanity. Hobbies remain fun because they are less consequential; you can afford a little indulgence. Making things for other people creates risk; which is mitigated with boring repetitive procedures.
- mcv 13y agoI think you're missing the point. It's not there's anything wrong with people _doing_ boring useless tasks, the problem is that they _have to do_ boring and useless tasks. It's not condescending towards the people, it's criticism towards the system. The system is wrong, the people are its victims.
