@Wintermenschin Da hat er halt leider recht. 90%+ unserer Jobs dienen keinem wirtschaftlichen Zweck. Milliarden nicht-wertschöpfende, Nettoverlust #bullshitjobs verschwenden den grössten Teil unserer Ressourcen und Energie. Bedingen Klimakollaps und Inflation.

We don't get wealthier by making money. We get wealthier by creating wealth that backs money. That's what people don't get. 90%+ of our jobs waste our wealth to obtain numbers we don't lack. "If you do a job with the sole purpose of making money, you are absurd." -- Alan Watts

Shutting down irrelevant jobs was "OK" in the context of #covid19 . But not in the context of total environmental collapse? Good luck explaining this to your children.

It took evolution 4 billion years to come up with an animal capable of committing collective suicide by doing nonsense. Developing language and a belief system based on infinite debt, constructed poverty and pointless busyness. 4 billion years to produce a self-DDoSing animal.

People are willing to get their children killed, so they can have 5 more years of McDonald's commercials. It's quite remarkable.

These are the headlines we should be worried about. Once we run low on food, it's GAME OVER. There are no save games. Zero continues. Once people lack food, it's social collapse. "Achievement Unlocked: Societal collapse by means of fabricated activities."

Farmers, state leaders worry about a drought affecting 85% of Missouri counties

Also in response to the drought, Wentzville issued a voluntary water conservation declaration that takes effect Monday.

We urgently need to ditch billions of economically unnecessary jobs. But journalists all around the world still publish "How to get more people working!?!?"-articles. While our oceans are heating up faster than ever. Few people are failing humanity quite like journalists.

Our economy is supposed to simply produce stuff for us. In the most resource-, energy- and labor-efficient way. It should work for us. Like a toaster. You don't start working for your toaster. Because the toaster central bank says you lack numbers. We are radically insane.

Can you imagine our governments suddenly telling us to be as lazy as possible? In order to save our biosphere. Because that's exactly what's going to happen. "Our experts realized that 90% of our jobs produce absolutely nothing of value nor beauty. It's 5-6h workweeks from now!"

An economy is supposed to grow in efficiency. Not in terms of employment. Our children will understand this. They will perceive Earth as a planet destroyed by pointless #bullshitjobs and a generation of nonsense employment obsessed cultists. The generation of their very parents.

It's not just that billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs are wasting most of our resources and energy. We are also overproducing like crazy. To supply the bullshit jobs layer with oil, electricity, concrete, steel, furniture, servers, etc. ... Most of our economic

We have to see our "economy" for what it is. It's the most wasteful and nonsensical construct in human history. It's not just producing a lot of garbage. Which could be considered highly subjective. No, it wastes most of our time, resources and energy, not producing anything.

I am telling you. The weirdest moment in history is upon us. As we mentally switch from "maximum employment" to "maximum efficiency". Literally abandoning millions of skyscrapers, offices and companies. A period of confusion and laughter. Rediscovering what it means to be alive.

Our "normal" isn't normal. An "economy" baking a planet by maximizing busyness isn't normal. We are being governed by dangerous village idiots, selling us the opposite of an economy. Even as rivers are disappearing. We have to stop pretending that this is "normal". It is not.

An entire civilization is destroying itself. Failing to understand the difference between wealth-creation and number-manipulation. Between economy and financial warfare. Maintaining an "economy" and universities of "economics", based on the most insane belief system in history.
