Do you really think that's what human nature would drive the majority of us to do? I take a very different view.JimC wrote:I am wary of the idea, in that it has the potential to create generations content to do sweet fuck all...
Oh shit, I'm having a Sethian moment...
For years I've been trying to get myself into a situation where I'm financially secure but also have a reasonable amount of free time - because there is so much I would want to do with that time. I've managed to get myself working only four days a week and spend as much of my free time as I can manage studying all sorts of things, volunteering, and trying to be creative. But it's still not enough.From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Actually, conservatives usually say this, as it reflects their pessimistic view of human nature. It's just Jim getting more conservative as he ages...Brian Peacock wrote:People who hate working always say this.JimC wrote:I am wary of the idea, in that it has the potential to create generations content to do sweet fuck all...

The WHOLE POINT about bureaucracy is to make a simple task as complicated, time consuming and frustrating as possible.

There is no "should." It's all about what one person is willing to pay another to do X. Why should a computer cost less than window draperies in the house? I have no idea. There is no should. It's just supply and demand.Crumple wrote:The question is should unpleasant work be paid more or paid less? and the same for enjoyable work? why should a pub landlord be paid more than the pub toilet cleaner when the advantage to his office in terms of perks are so much greater?
