(IMHO though, I wouldn't necessarily skip straight to those, a lot of throw back references to earlier episodes.) Felix's spoken word white jazz in those episodes is one of my favourite things from the show Hailey, I'm giving up thalidomide for you!

I feel like the whole "life without work" discussion frames work in a way that only includes office drones and manual labor or factory work. I'd be a little worried about how those ideas effect jobs like, say, doctors or lawyers. What motivation does one have to become something like that after a few generations where you aren't expected to build toward a career? I should probably actually read the article.

Like, yeah, those jobs are prestigious in part because of their salary, but also because they're legitimately considered more "noble" than, say, building cars. How many very competent people would aspire to being a doctor for good reasons, but can't because they need to pay rent in the here and now so they take a job that doesn't satisfy them?

A lot of jobs are poo poo pay today but still people dream of becoming teachers, firemen or EMTs. All profit is just unpaid wages.

I'd be a little worried about how those ideas effect jobs like, say, doctors or lawyers. What motivation does one have to become something like that after a few generations where you aren't expected to build toward a career? Being a doctor or lawyer (or more specifically practising law or medicine) generally involves a great deal of creativity and personal freedom in your work. The reason why less creatively satisfying occupations are singled out is both because they comprise the majority of jobs and because of the effects that they have on workers. After describing division of labour, Adam Smith actually articulated this as a major problem with it: quote:The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects are perhaps always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur. He naturally loses, therefore, the habit of such exertion, and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become. The torpor of his mind renders him not only incapable of relishing or bearing a part in any rational conversation, but of conceiving any generous, noble, or tender sentiment, and consequently of forming any just judgment concerning many even of the ordinary duties of private life. The idea of a world without work isn't one in which people do nothing all day, but one in which the things that they do aren't motivated by rewards in the form of money (in other words coerced by the threat of starvation and poverty) or status. It's probably a utopian idea, but I think trying to get as as close to it as we can is unambiguously good approach.

TetsuoTW posted:Because they want to help people in need like decent loving people? Seriously, like, I work as a researcher and I make barely enough money to have a decent standard of living in the city where I live. Everyone I work with or know who does science for a living does this because they are driven by ideology. In fact, if we lived in a society where all of our basic needs were taken care of and money was no object in anything, it would make all of our lives easier, and we would still all definitely be doing science. However, even in a society where basic needs are met, incentives can still exist for necessary but dangerous labor, or productive labor beyond the basic needs of a society. It is a fact that in any society there will be certain luxuries that are limited in supply, such as gems or beach front living space, or how frequently one can access things like intercontinental travel. Even under socialism these things can be used as rewards for these types of labor. Marx for instance thought that one possible model would be to have a system of nontransmissable vouchers for labor that could be used to acquire these things.

i think that in a world without work, i would get bored after a while and want some structure to my life, and working a job on a voluntary basis would be a good way to do that. i took a week off of work awhile back and did absolutely nothing the whole time and i was getting bored by the end of it

There just wouldn't be people working menial garbage jobs and office facebooking jobs. People would be more human. However, in that society, there would be no managers or financiers and rentiers to parastize it, and that's why it does not yet exist.

I don't actually mind too much if Felix or Amber stay back and just make a few choice comments during an interview like that one (although those two are my faves, <3 Amber); Will did fantastically and the guest was actually really loving great, she fit in so well. I keep thinking to Bill Maher's show, how maybe if it weren't poo poo and actually had guests on who aren't going to just spew retarded lies and who actually fit in with the host like Chapo's guests do. And who're actually interesting, as opposed to the standard NYT columnists and politics show pundits/talking head losers.
