The counter counter argument is that we all talking here know what manual job or not getting paid feels like. But we don't know what it does to you if you have a job where you must watch humans hurt/torture/rape other humans day in day out.
we know what work feels like. Maybe it's better maybe it's worse. But we don't know personally and have no intuition about THIS kind of stuff.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. Am I just too old? What do you mean, people on this forum have no intuition about what watching gore videos online is like? About watching hours of ordinary porn (as the article also mentioned)?
That's more likely to be within the experience of a HackerNews user than serious manual labor.
I mean literally what I wrote.
> people on this forum have no intuition about what watching gore videos online is like
as a job day in day out no they don't
(also abuse is not gore which can be consensual)
(also HN is mostly men aka people who statistically are performers of abuse not receivers of abuse so adjust accordingly)
I guarantee you approximately nothing on LiveLeak was consensual. Consensual cartel executions?
Men are more likely to be victims of violent crime than women. Adjust according to what?
