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.

Trickle-down economics and the link between productivity and wages has been so thoroughly debunked it's laughable...
Yet those in power still force their neoliberal austerity down our thoats.
How, pray tell, do we destroy the system?
They laugh at our protests, attack our not-for-profits, and buy their votes using the mass/social media.
@kit_darko I agree, and I don't know the solution. But I see a lot of people still buying the secular brand of Prosperity Doctrine, believing that just busting ass, competing harder and winning the Hunger Games will make things ok. I know any emancipation from the hamster machine involves less people believing they can escape by running faster.
Disillusionment, in a kingdom of bullshit, needs to be a daily routine. Like crunches. (The crossfit kind, not the AAA game studio sweatshop kind)
