So you're arguing the first one, never implement technology to save labor because people deserve the dignity of work. How far should we take this? Should we burn the tractors? We c…

If it's necessary during COVID times, it could still be beneficial during non COVID times. Even if COVID goes away, there are plenty of other viruses lurking around that kill lots …

Is your point that there should never be a job displacing technology or that retail workers are a special class that should be protected from automation?

They have Amazon stores in the US. There's one I know of in downtown Chicago. I don't know if it did particularly well but it wasn't robbed bare every day.

Not to mention they're just fucking annoying to listen to all day in the summer.

I think it depends on what the Scrum/Agile process looks like and what it is replacing. For example, I think its pretty useful to have an iterative forecast of achievable work rath…

So, in other words, they became multi-millionaires. I think your reading too much into it, just take the words as written.

IDK I think it's quite cowardly if ebay is not willing to be consistent in what they are willing to sell. For example, if they can find a few people that are offended by violent vi…

Charles Manson In His Own Words is a-OK though!

No. Actually, technically yes but very indirectly. The fossil fuels would be taxed which are agricultural inputs for the food which we eat and then exhale.

You're right, social media is worse because it extends to all aspects of life, not just health.

Most of the money isn't even going to teachers, it goes to an increasingly bloated administrative staff. Really what we need to do is fire 50%+ of the non-teaching staff at schools…

They get it out of their system on Twitter

A carbon tax would help. We don't necessarily have to eliminate meat production, just make it expensive enough to reduce its use by a factor of 10 or so.

Animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of global anthropogenic emissions, over half of which comes from cows. http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/197623/icode/#:~:text=... .

I can't really discuss the directly perceived experience of anything other than myself since I have no way of accessing it. I have no way of knowing if you have directly perceived …

A lot of animals (such as insects) aren't self aware. I still think they have some form of consciousness. Emergent behaviors by themselves aren't goal-oriented.

You appear bounded when examined at a macroscopic level but you aren't really. You constantly have skin cells sloughing off into the air (is that you?) and you're filled with bacte…
