RE: The Future Of Work: 5 Hour Days?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Many people aren't aware of why we work 40 hrs a week. In particular in the United States it has alot to do with the Jewish Sabbath. If you're aware of how the sabbath works.. it runs from something like sundown friday evening to saturday evening.
So it started with Henry Ford big production lines having to stop due to this religious observance. So Henry Ford was like forget the entire thing we'll just close it down since we have to stop the line anyway.
This is what i mean. In society you give people a system they don't question it, they just will go full steam ahead with it. Many people are lazy they don't wanna think about anything. It's easier to just get in it and go. let someone else deal with it.
So this doesn't really have anything to do with production from a worker. If i hire 5 guys to do a job. They all work at different production levels. I got the guy does more than his share for the week. I got the guy does just enough and the other who just shows up.. just a body there. We have this on every job.
So what this is really about .. or is mostly about now is people performing meaningless repetitive tasks that either they shouldn't have to do or won't be doing in the near future. The reasoning is in some weird universe they feel like by having people do dumb repetitive tasks they don't need to do that it is giving them meaning in life".
As if they are not in any shape or form capable of producing meaning out of life for themselves because they say, lol. I don't think every conversation should end and " ubi is the answer". However even in terms of reducing the work week. It's really about trading off time and energy for money. So yes ubi would by default be reducing that down.

You nailed it. People do just accept a system as it is, without research or question. They also believe that how things are now is how it was always. For example, we take the corporation for granted yet we know that, in its present form, this is only a 200 year old innovation. Before the massive need for fundraising to build the railroads in the US, the corporation was very rare.
Now they are basically running our lives.

Exactly people don't think for themselves and because they don't. Others will decide for them They wanna think for themselves after the systems they are part of are in session. They don't wanna think for themselves before they are put into motion.
They don't wanna look for another way. They don't wanna find a better system. So in those cases it's easier to just go well i'm going to follow the system because i sure as hell not going to do anything about it. I'm not going to build a system that aims to do anything about it. I"m not going to support a system that aims to do anything about it.
I"m going to move right along. It's easier to just be honest and say i plan to do absolutely nothing about the systems how they are.. As i'm going to complain a little bit from time to time but i'm really not going to do anything about it. In crypto what happens in crypto. Let me show you what happens the crypto community models a capitalistic replica of the same systems that we complain about now.
Who are the banks? The banks are the centralized crypto exchanges we use at a rate of 95%. Who are the whales? The whales are the 1% that dominate our society and cryptocurrency in a ratio worse than the system we complain about.
Who are the corporations? The corporations are actually here they own all the major cryptocurrencies and control them in almost the same exact ratio as they do with our systems in real life.. the ethereum's the bitcoins etc.,
Most of cryptocurrency doesn't support ubi projects that could actually in any real significant way decentralize the network. As here's an interesting news flash. Bitcoin is not decentralized. I don't believe any real economist believes that or any knowledgable crypto person who's really knowledgable. We know about internet knowledge. Ubi projects perform worse than any projects because people in crypto rather support corporate controlled cryptocurrenices that produce an infographic worse than the standard economies lol.
Are we brain dead? We gotta be if we don't understand this. It's insane but because people are either too lazy to care.. too brainwashed to care too i rather not have to worry about it just can i make more money and be a wealthier slave in the system, as you're still a slave under the standard system even if you're a rich slave. They don't care enough to do anything about it. Thats a severe character flaw.
