been thinking about #DavidGraeber a lot lately. i think the Venn Diagram of people trapped in #BullshitJobs and aisloppers is a circle.

i would bet you that if people could earn a living without a bullshit job ―and, yes, a lot of tech work is bullshit― they’d have whole careers and lives outside of this capitalist hellscape.

capitalists are using #AI to gaslight us into believing we need them as the middlemen between our lives and a life worth living.

it’s a lie.

cut the middlemen out.

The Austrian intelligence agency has been unlawfully terrorizing and jeopardizing the safety of my family for 4 years, 9 months and 12 days.

For stating that our governments' obsession with employment and #bullshitjobs is killing us and our planet.

We are working more than ever. Using the most advanced and efficient technology in history.

But we are getting poorer and poorer.

Politicians are supposed to realize that there is something fundamentally wrong. But they don't.

They simply continue to demand more #bullshitjobs.

Governments continue to enforce billions of #bullshitjobs. That are wasting most of our energy and fossil fuels.

While wondering what to do about global warming and a shortage of fossil fuels and energy.

Our reality is the plot of a Louis de Funès movie.

Our governments' answer to all of our crises is always "more effort".

But it is the meaningless "effort" in 3,000,000,000+ wealth-negative #bullshitjobs that is causing all of our crises. From global warming to economic deprivation.

"More effort" is killing us.

Milei is forcing people into more poverty and #bullshitjobs than ever. While shouting "efficiency".

Milei, like most "economists", fails to understand that fighting over money via billions of #bullshitjobs does not result in prosperity.

He is a fool.

#bullshitjobs exist because poverty forces people to "earn" money. Allowing capital to employ billions of people to fight over money.

Bitcoin does not end poverty. Bitcoin simply keeps track of who is poor differently.

Bitcoin is not the answer to the #bullshitjobs issue.

The global fight over money and its billions of #bullshitjobs, silly infrastructure, unnecessary traffic and computational nonsense is turning our planet into a giant desert. Faster and faster.

But governments continue to demand more of it all.

Our "economy" is collapsing because >90% of our "economy" destroys value instead of creating value.

Our "economy" is collapsing under the weight of 3,000,000,000+ #bullshitjobs.

But journalists blame the inevitable collapse on random conflicts and demand more "growth".
