Hmmm...interestinf point...is there a way to break down this deeply-embeeded fear?

This. There are A LOT of errors and fallacies which the brain makes, and oftentimes those can be used by bad actors to influence, nudge, and manipulate the person into doing something. While I understand there is a certain level of accountability that needs to be enforced, we should keep in mind the puppetmaster whom we often do not see in the background can do more harm because they are more deeply embedded and have more implicit power that needs to be uncovered and stopped.

“The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens.” – a stage play based on George Orwell’s 1984

Striking line--now we just have to figure out how to get people off their screens and onto streets.

Welp, I wasn't even going to go see Barbie, but now I'll go to watch it just out of spite lol.

 

This is an academic seminar which takes a look at post-scarcity. I suggest listening when doing something mundane.

In the talk, Brenanav goes over the main tenets of current post-scarcity research, as well as concerning economic trends over labor productivity and automation. He then gives some suggestions on how we must change our perspective of work, and at the least, start thinking about changing our economy from one of growth.

Some of the interesting pints I found from the article were that

  1. jobs aren't being destroyed, but job creation is slowing down dramatically

  2. despite automation and productivity increasing, economic growth has been slowing dramatically, and this has resulted in a feedback loop where firms hold onto money more and more, thereby negatively affecting communities by disinvesting in them

  3. There is something called jobless recovery -- in the United States, Brenanav noted that after each economic recession it took longer and longer to get back to the same level of unemployment as in a boom time
