Yes, but, if you can’t produce plausible bullshit on your own you’re not going to get very far.

    if 90% of jobs can be replaced by AI bullshit, why tf do we even need to work? Why shape society so you must do shitty non existent jobs to survive?

    I forgot that he also wrote that. I read “the dawn of everything” which is one of the most mind-blowing revisions of history I've ever seen. (In a good way, for once)

    I recently finished it and it completely changed how I see society. It's the intellectual equivalent of an acid trip, with how much it breaks down and challenges things you've just always assumed.

    I also recently read Debt and The Utopia of Rules. I highly recommend people read everything of his.

    Automation should enable UBI, in a decent society. But since our current leaders will never implement UBI, automation is a crime against the working class who need jobs to survive.

    Correct answer, we are already in the UBI realm of not needing enough workers. The question is where the world goes from here. I'm currently betting on some dystopian societal structure we're 90% of people are fucked. So glad I'm older without kids.
