honestly i cant even pretend i dont agree. ive never kept a job longer than 6 months. everytime i get a new job i lie to myself

"i actually enjoy this, working isnt as bad as i thought, this is fine"

then 2 months later i cant continue pretending. i just simply cannot do something for an extended period if its not of interest to me

ill work again but until retirement? im sure i can figure out a way to opt out of wage slavery. being australian also helps because i get like $660 a fortnight for doing nothing

[Anonymous No.11753499]

he's basically right. modern wage labor is basically indistinguishable from what slavery meant for most of history (slavery wasn't always of the brutal american slave trade variety). what's the lesson to be learned from this? is wage labor le ebil slavery that must be abolished? no, what this shows is that slavery is, as aristotle points out, necessary for society to function at all, and a society without slave labor is not possible. you can't have civilization without slaves. all we can do is endeavor to make their conditions more or less decent, but to ablosih slavery altogether is unthinkable

they refuse to see this because they've had it hammered into them that slavery/oppression is bad, and if they acknowledged that their society is based on oppression they would feel obligated to end that oppression, but if they ended that oppression society would collapse and buh bye to all their nice shiny toys, no more nice things. so they're forced into cognitive dissonance. the sensible response is just to acknowledge that oppression is necessary for the good life, and that we should just strive to make it a decent and fair form of oppression

Not all work, just most modern work, in the 60s you would get paid twice as much for the same work and people were 20% less productive. It's in the corporation's interest to establish the absolute limit of how hard they can push their workers before the turnover rate starts to cost them.

Did you even read Taleb? A "job" salary is stable in the short run but has huge hidden downside of layoffs/outsourcing/etc in the long run. A trade or skill that is more like self-employment or business ownership has daily fluctuations but in the long run once you have acquired a useful skill no one can really stop you from making money.

I think it depends on the industry. In a brand new industry, bosses are not that superfluous because the structure of production isn't optimized or saturated.

However, at a McDonald's or some other enterprise that has been running for more than half a century, bosses/corporate management are annoying, superfluous, and usually people who get a little too high on their own fumes; because the structure of production is already relatively optimized. Workers could just run and collectively own a McDonald's themselves without the need or organization from some upper management and they would probably make a lot more money, with a lot less shitty rules and shit-eating corporate culture to boot.

Taleb is the Stephen J. Gould of economics: a hack who took a well-known concept, gave it a catchy name, and marketed it as his unique insight.

Biologists long knew that the rate of evolutionary change was not constant, but Gould came along and coined the term "punctuated equilibrium" and sold the hell out of it to the lay media and became famous.

Likewise it was widely known that phenomena with a normal distribution of probabilities are a minority in this uncertain world. Nevertheless, Taleb coins "black swan" to describe what was already known and then sold the shit out of it to lay people presenting himself as some guru.

Well on could argue that what you're doing in this wilderness situation is not work, but life itself. Modern day work might be less physically taxing, less dangerous, less uncomfortable.
But the tasks you're doing in the wilderness give you meaning much more directly, you profit without any abstraction. You live, and arguably that's better than being a slave.

Yes I have. Eagle scout, Marines, and high adventure camp leader. I have worked and lived with people in the Philippines who live what can almost be called a Paleolithic lifestyle. I have seen lots of the pros and beauty of living without civilization. However I am cynical about romanticizing it. The best solution is to have civ but have huge national parks and treasure our environment so it can be enjoyed.

There is definitely an emptiness created by modern civilization and the inherent ease of life. When you have a survival situation you are in a constant state of emotion, and you can tightly bond with your peers. You experience humanity in a visceral way instead of reading about it. However, there are many downsides too.

Good thing we have robots to till the soil for us now. Seriously, no one can make the argument that we are lacking enough in technology and recourses that we cannot make machines advanced enough to do the shit jobs for us but not advanced enough to say no or find an alternate way that we don't like. Modern farming could be done with robotic atv's and an automated abattoir, we already 3d print and assemble houses and 95% of the products people use solely for recreation are made (or could be made easily enough) in a factory by robots. We have the resources to do this and ensure a basic standard of life for every human free from work but we don't, because it's not profitable under our current system. We are living in a post serf world but keep dragging ourselves down to serfdom because those that control the resources tel us its the only way. if anyone can find a fault in my logic in terms of a basic standard of living I'd love to hear it

This guy was born in a rich family and went to famous universities. And in his book he talked about taxi drivers being a safe profession and later on twitter he laughs at uber taxi drivers. I'm not a leftist but I'm not going to pretend being a taxi driver is desirable.

no work in itself is not slavery. the issue here is, some are dying from too much work and some are becoming tyrants from too little work. the ones who are dying are the slaves.

A FREE-MAN, is "he, that in those things, which by his strength and wit he is able to do, is not hindred to doe what he has a will to." But when the words Free, and Liberty, are applyed to any thing but Bodies, they are abused; for that which is not subject to Motion, is not subject to Impediment: And therefore, when 'tis said (for example) The way is free, no liberty of the way is signified, but of those that walk in it without stop. And when we say a Guift is free, there is not meant any liberty of the Guift, but of the Giver, that was not bound by any law, or Covenant to give it. So when we Speak Freely, it is not the liberty of voice, or pronunciation, but of the man, whom no law hath obliged to speak otherwise then he did. Lastly, from the use of the word Freewill, no liberty can be inferred to the will, desire, or inclination, but the liberty of the man; which consisteth in this, that he finds no stop, in doing what he has the will, desire, or inclination to doe.

I dont like to admit it, but sometimes I find myself agreeing with that sentiment. I make a high wage (~200k) but my employer will bring in around $1.5 million from my labor this year. And I'm stuck working 50-60 hour weeks.

If I made 200k a year I wouldn't work more than a couple if years I think, especially if you don't like the job. After a few years you can get your retirement set up if you're not in debt and then you can go do stuff you like with a lot of fuck-you-money.

The problem is school debt. It's going to take me a few years to get out from under that. I figure I could retire in 10 years (especially since my income will go significantly every year for at least the next 5 and then may shoot up astronomically or drop back down around where it is now). Seems like a long way out but I'll only be 37 so that's not too bad I guess.
