@casualconversation if there's a dearth of jobs in the market, then that's the market's problem.

The human being shall always find plenty of work to do so long as he works for his own satisfaction and not for money.

Your thoughts on this please 😊😊😊

Naive

I am all for that, but at some point you need to pay the rent and eat, and you can’t buy food with satisfaction.

I think it can get to a point where there isn’t as much needed work because of tool/technology. As for working for our own satisfaction, there is only so many people that can do one thing before that thing is no longer valuable. If a billion people start making pots, there won’t be any money in pottery, so you won’t be able to afford to live. I don’t believe there is actually “unlimited” trades out there. Are there really new app ideas, sure. Most of them aren’t needed though, so they wouldn’t make any money.

I think we will start to see half the population falling deeply into poverty and suicide rates climbing drastically if we don’t find ways to spread wealth more evenly. The poor will want to revolt to force it, the rich will want to start wars so they can keep their wealth by culling the population down so the tiny percent of wealth they don’t hold can hold the impoverished over enough to make them not want to revolt.

I try not to buy food in general. There’s so much extra food floating around we’d have to throw it away if we couldn’t give it away. And getting involved in your local mutual support network, helping it grow, gathering items and food that would otherwise go to waste and seeing it instead go to those who can use it, those who need it, is great for the ol’ satisfaction.

its societies problems. There is massive value in humanity that is not easy to get out as folks preoccupied with food and shelter and medicine will not be doing the things they are best at if it will not provide those things. In addition without being able to get as much education as they are inclined to get they cannot reach their best potential.
