Hubski has had this discussion several times. Edit: and here's another previous one. Also, I'd wager that a large majority of Hubski users work jobs that actually do "matter", both to themselves and society at large. But I don't disagree with the general premise that we've got a lot of people working meaningless jobs to sustain other people working meaningless jobs.
I started a reply on this subject yesterday but didn't post it because it became a rant. What is left out of the "bullshit jobs" equation is that every dollar paid to an employee (in the private sector) must be freely given by a customer. The employee may not see the value, but someone must. This doesn't mean that every act by every worker generates revenue, far from it. But an employer cannot remain an employer long without customers that continue giving them money.I'd wager that a large majority of Hubski users work jobs that actually do "matter", both to themselves and society at large.
That would be fucked because then you'd have more energy to invest in producing whatever it is you'd like! How shitty would that be? My only problem is that not everyone is a flagamuffin or wasoxygen or basically anyone else it is reading this circa the date it was posted. Edit: Hubski is great. And I have much more faith in it than humanity as a whole. "Sorry", if anyone feels like I owe them a sothiopathic apology.
