The paradox of productivity in 2018 is even if you're writing a quantum tech article whilst simultaneously dogwalking, podcasting your fourth Ph. D, & inventing the next revolutionary drudge-work-automating app (that will be consumed by a tech giant), you'll always be making not-enough per hour for a dignified existence.
No amount of neurohack pills, 180-hour crunches and AI assistants will ever free us, because neofeudal capitalism will consume all abundance.
The wheel must break.
@silverspookgames barely half a century ago the common assumption was that with technology improving the production of a single worker, said worker would be able to create more and earn the same for less time invested. But this didn't take into account that employers would rather keep working their workers at the same amount of effort for greater productivity with no increase in pay.
The result is that labor is now devalued and keeps losing value.
