technology

I’m slowly just beginning to accept that we are all living in an era of inescapable slop that has the potential to destroy the natural world.

To be super reductionist, one of the key components that is driving people to automate everything away because the name of the game is speed-completing whatever banal tasks/exercises at increasingly quicker rates and increasingly significant costs to our humanity. And if that doesn’t directly parallel with technological progression in the 21st century.

I don’t know how you can look at capitalism which is fundamentally based on infinite growth and just ignore what comes with infinite growth (wouldn’t that be infinite problems?) The “system” argument no longer applies because not all systems are predicated on infinite progress/growth.

This also just sounds like capitalists who lead meaningless lives and have bought up everything at this point, so they’re making their existential crisis everyone else’s problem.
