Why do humans need to work to exist?
We just need a new model for existing that isn’t based on labor. We should have started working on these problems in 2016 when it was obvious they were coming, but we elected a regressive twice to help us go backwards instead.

What make life worth living? Is it love? Is it beauty? Is it the sense of having agency?
Sadly, we are not smart enough to know until it is taken away.....
Look at ye old timey aristocrats or trust fund kids to see that people can and do have meaningful lives even without work.
Lets first have actual problem instead of trying to stop data center buildout or squatting on data.
Let’s build abundance first and solve inequality later. Instead people are keen to prevent abundance and keep everyone level by keeping everyone poor.
