We have a choice not to work?

[-] tron@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Choosing death by starvation is not a choice. Work or die, slave.

Sartre would disagree, but then Sartre was a professional philosopher.

You think a company should pay you even if you decide not to work? As much as I wish the universe rained down food, housing, and smart phone but the reality is that it cares not of you get a meal at the end of the day.

I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

There are better systems that require you not to die when you dont work.

Really? Like other people take out your garbage and bringing you your food and build your house.

The universe cares less if you starve but we do live in a time when we have to do very little work to survive quite well.

Companies are already paying people who decide to not work - their owners.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
