    Let me rephrase then, I think all necessary jobs are equally important regardless the field. I agree with you, there are thousands of useless jobs, like, Garbage collectors (we can do it ourselves), politicians, policeman, corporate parasites, to name a few.



  • And they do, that’s why resiging is becoming a viable option for workers, as far as I understand the US government gives you a financial support if you meet some criteria. And to be honest, if my country did the same thing I would rather have their financial support than being exploited for someone else’s profit, that way I can actually live my life and work on whatever I like at my own pace.









  • I think you make a valid point, I have seen people in the same situation, they legitimately don’t want to change their situation and it is true that if you give them money It will probably by used for nonsense but I think that homeless people or poor people in general dont necessarily want to be poor, it’s not like they wake up one day and say: “You know what’d be great, have no money and beg for food in the streets”, I think it’s a matter of luck, I for example was lucky enough to have a good education and make something out of it, but there are people who are born in the streets and of course they think there’s no way out of it, nobody taught them otherwise.

    It does sounds nice at first glance but think about it, do you really want to live in a “Player One” movie, let alone allow huge companies to know everything about you, and I mean everything, I’m talking neurological information. We know very little of our physical world and we already want to scape to a virtual one because reality sucks?, I’m not buying it.

    On a side note, I have a cousin who is really into VR, I can tell you, it’s not the cousin I knew, he changed and it’s depressing, he doesn’t want to interact with reality anymore, it’s crazy.
