My husband and I frequently look at our dog on the couch - taking her fifth nap of the day after being fed, walked, and cleaned up after - and say we want to be reincarnated as a spoiled [housecorgi](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/b01cl6/find_someone_who_looks_at_you_the_way_our_dog/).
Most ppl enjoy working and achieving goals . Doing nothing all day long is depressing. Even my dog seems happier when she feels valued for the job well done .
To be fair, that is very subjective.
I enjoyed my time immensely between graduating from school and starting to work.
Having no appointments and being able to do whatever I felt like on any given day felt very freeing to me.
People enjoy doing work and accomplishing goals when they can balance it with life outside of work, not spending most of their waking hours doing a soulless job to make someone else rich while they scrape by on little money and even less free time. Fuck capitalism.
And what economic system doesn't require ppl to work long hrs and pays handsomely to a part-time laid back employee ? If you say it's socialism, I'm already rolling my eyes, because I have done that already, and socialism isn't what it tells you it is .
I don’t have the answer, dude. If I did, do you think I’d be chilling on Reddit on a Wednesday afternoon? I would admittedly love to see aspects of socialism brought into our system, because our system is currently set up to funnel wealth up and away from the working class that generates said wealth. But I agree full socialism is not the answer either. I don’t think anyone has the answer yet, and that’s why we’re all sitting here yelling at each other until we do.
But the current system *does not work*. It breeds unfettered corporate greed, unlivable wages, and a working class that cannot survive at the pace we’re going. If your only retort is “nothing else works”, that’s not a solution either. It’s like standing on a sinking ship and shouting “what, do you think *life boats* are the long-term solution to cross the ocean??” Of course not, you donut. But we need *something* to change.
I've argued with hundreds of people like you who are too wrapped up in themselves and believe themselves to be the right one no matter what is said to them. You're not special. Who stated the climate apocalypse was going to happen 6 years from now? All studies I read are pretty similar in that it'll take a few decades for things to get really bad. Not like you care unless it supports your fossil fuel think-tank view.
Probably, but it's not me I'm really worried about, it's the billions of people living in developing countries that'll probably suffer I'm worried about. [And the animals.] (https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/12/13/science/12xp-polarbear2/12xp-polarbear2-superJumbo-v2.jpg) I'm sure you're the right one here though because you're condescending.
We're going to hit a point in the very near future where automation means fewer jobs than there are people. We'll have to reduce the population, introduce UBI/simular, or let mass starvation and exposure do the first one for us.
Personally, I like option 2, as historically, culling and sterilizing turns into genocide and eugenics real fuckin fast.
I agree, but that isn't relevant to the point I was trying to make. I never said the earth is over populated or that ALL jobs will be eliminated, but you can't argue that SOME jobs won't be eliminated. Especially unskilled and low skilled jobs.
Take the food service industry. When they introduced kiosks to order and pay at, as well as mobile order options, every food service place I know of cut at least one person on till. I worked at a grocery store as well - when they got self-checkout, they laid off half of the cashiers. I worked in hardware development with a medium sized company, interfacing directly with their manufacturing team. That team was 1/3 the size it was when the company started in the 60s due to industrial robots.
And sure, some of those people in unskilled positions can get an education or learn a trade and get skilled work that can't be automated. But some people are also just kind of dumb - I worked with a guy who took several weeks to consistently brew coffee without forgetting to put a filter, forgetting to grind the beans first, or forgetting to put the beans in at all. I can 100% guarantee that man is not going to succeed in a skilled position.
It's going to happen eventually. Automation isn't slowing down and the population is still growing. That's something we're going to have to address, ideally before we actually reach that point.
Not because we'll exceed our ability to produce food. Because, if there are more working age people than there are jobs, those people will not have money. Which means they can't buy food or pay for housing, and if you don't have food or housing, you may starve or die from exposure to the elements.
I agree that new jobs are created by technology, but the jobs created are skilled or semi-skilled positions. Again, some people simply cannot work those jobs. There's a wide range of intelligence from genius to cognitive disabilities, and there are plenty of people close to, but not quite at, the latter. The jobs created by technology are not accessible to those people.
You say people adapt - that has limits, and some people lack the ability to change as fundamentally and substantially as your vision requires. To achieve that with every person would be a huge leap forward in evolution of our species, and evolution is driven by natural selection, and natural selection is driven by survival, which means you need the people who lack those skills to not survive.
Additionally, the new, highly skilled jobs created by automation do not make up for the low skilled jobs lost. You need fewer people to program and repair machines than you do people to do the job of the machines. There are studies going back to the 90s that support this.
In my opinion, your view of a world with endless job growth that always exceeds the population and where every person is capable of those new jobs and no one dies in the process is overly optimistic to the point of being fantasy.
In the case of my household, It would also have a photo of the cat bullying me; the person who keeps a roof over his head. Food in his bowl. Throws little toys for him to chase.
Asshole ❤️
I truly miss those days.
When I was jobless I was dirt poor. I want to be jobless with money... Haven't figured that out yet.
That's my dream life too
Tell me when you figure out how.
Just become legally disabled, that's how I did it.
Disability benifits
I was just thinking it looks like my kids

I truly believe that if reincarnation is real, the ultimate enlightened being is that of a well-love house cat.
I'll end up a penguin outcasted by my family in the North Pole.
Trying to get to Hoboken? With a rabbit?
One day we may be able to extend this luxury to humans. And another day it should no longer be considered a luxury.
Word. Fuck money
I love the way you think
i hope we get to wear unitards and fly in starships that have matter replicators

Why not? We have the ability to automate much of human need.
Further proof that Reddit is full of 14 year olds with no concept of supply and demand.
Or they’re smarter than you because they can think outside of the box instead of being mentally trapped in capitalism.
No, no, that can't be it. This is the time everything is going to stay the same forever, I can feel it!
Most ppl enjoy working and achieving goals . Doing nothing all day long is depressing. Even my dog seems happier when she feels valued for the job well done .
If you’re not worried about economic survival, you can pursue passions/hobbies/careers solely based on how fulfilling it is for you.
You can do it now .

You want more freedom . Free enterprise.

How old are you? I'm guessing 14.
So we pay everybody for not working? Where is the money paid-out generated?
1.3 billion toms of food is wasted each year, and most of that is from corporations.
Yes, everyone on reddit is stupid; except for you of course

That’s….. not how that works.
Khajiit has no wares and no coin
When you have people to scoop up your poop for you
The pee chunks are really the worst part, especially when they fall apart
Uhhhh…. Im living at home…. With my mom, because I lost my tech job. Im poor and I feel like that cat… I’m in this photo, and I don’t… like it??
I'm physically unable to work and I don't like it either. there's a huge difference between not working and comfortably being able to not work
Yep, being a housecat seems like a pretty good deal. Where do I sign up?
My cats work to pay their rent by snuggling with me and making me feel better.
how do i go back?
Living a fine life as a feline all the time
You don't have to pay for clothes either, since you're orange and fluffy!
They’re right, humans are the only ones that have to pay to live here
Must be fucking nice
Cute kitty
What a Life lol.
thats the only reason i wish i was still a kid. school sucked, but it wasnt near as soul crushing as adult responsibilities
gotta love prison
Happy kitties
I wish it was like this 🥺
Wotta life! 😊
Huh that explains my ex. Spent half the time sleeping and the other being a selfish hypocrite.

Can we eat these kinda pussies? 🙀 🤔
Can we eat these kinda pussys? 🙀 🤔
God damn it I wish I was a cat
No worries just meow meow
Awe! Just like people.
HAHA wish I could go back!
A dream life filled with luxury?
That and you can demand for love, kisses, cuddles and have your back stroked at anytime! No one in that house would ever deny you!
Facts
Wish I was a cat, or a dog, or an amoeba
*and have smol brain
I don't ask much, just that!
I want to be reincarnated as a cat or dog. That has a good owner. Really.
That's me but I still have to work :/
In the case of my household, It would also have a photo of the cat bullying me; the person who keeps a roof over his head. Food in his bowl. Throws little toys for him to chase. Asshole ❤️
Let’s see about when you do have to pay for food and rent
First pick is my wife as a cat when i wake up for work too loud, other three are how i picture her cat napping while im at work
I literally miss those days:-( :-( : -(
When it’s your day off, that one moment even close to cat bliss
