It's not ridiculous. Time is the most precious resource.

so I assume societies with lots of underpaid gig jobs is a society where people tend to have a lot of free time saved to enjoy life?

For the individual though, it certainly makes sense to just order food online if you have to sit still and complete 3 different projects.

and how are those "individualistic" societies doing?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The implication was that getting food delivered to you in this way makes no sense. I gave an example of why it does make sense.

If you don't like it, you could get lobbying to get everyone UBI supported by automation, so we don't have to work.

it's the situation where it makes sense because we capitalise every aspect of human existence, so it makes sense for an individual to do so.

but not as a society.

Organizing a Lemmy community around this issue is literally on my list of goals...though it was supposed to be Reddit.

Fuck you Reddit!

sorry, my concept was vague, what community you want to make?

Something like solar Punk, but with a few more points that I have to add for...completeness.

No point dropping the ball on this.

If I survive that is.

id love solarpunk,

my only complaint is that it is too vague, and sometimes ends up being an esthetic rather than an ideology. especially when coopted by corporations making mockups of corporate building covered in plants.
