    We can’t be feeding people who do no work. It is much better that they be put to it than have the task “solved” by some brainiac who would rob them of the fulfillment of employment.

        I would not joke about this, these are the serious affairs of adult men and women, who could and should do their best to contribute to our civilization.

        Where would we be as a society if those who craft advertisements were instead free to to roam about doing as they please all day? I’ll be dead before we are a nation of aimless frolickers.

          Aimless frolicking sounds like a great deal to me.

          Imagine how fit everyone would be if we could spend all day frolicking about instead of being at a desk 8+ hours a day.

            Imagine all the science we could do if scientists didn’t have to worry about funding to stay alive.

              We would have a much better world to live in, and scientists wouldn’t be pressured to only study things that can be immediately monetized.

              Have you ever heard of orphan diseases? They’re conditions that are so rare that it’s not profitable to research them and find cures/treatment because the population of people who need it is so small.

              Some countries counter this by using government funding to research rare diseases but the progress is much slower since the funding is limited.

            They are absolutely trolling. Check the examples they use in their comments: “advertisers” and another comment pointed to “Mobil game development” specifically as important and useful work.

            Poes law at work with them, they’re pretty convincing that they are serious while still leaving little hints that they are messing around.

              Right? The “craft advertisements” was definitely the one that is for punctuation of their trolling but I’ll give it the downvotes they want.

      But we could.

      who would rob them of the fulfillment of employment.

      A boring job isn’t fulfilling and mental underload leads to burnout.

      There’s exactly one reason to do work: getting living money. If you can make a living from your hobby or your job is otherwise fulfilling, that’s nice for you.

      So what about the sick and the elderly? Do you want the kids working too?
