They are not mutually exclusive

Just here to add Adobe to the list

I guess the question is if that's the correct way to do or if we'd prefer public investments on childcare

Like, are the people in June Care background checked? You know to avoid bad service before some parent has a terrible experience

My humble opinion: burnout exists, laziness doesn't

Laziness is a buzzword concept to describe way too many states of mind, downplaying the causes of lack of motivation.

I think there are some words that, if avoided, allow deeper investigation into important things, and "lazy" is in the top 10 of that list

What's funny to me is that such a robot takeover would mean all humans are (wage-)enslaved rather than 99% of us like right now

We already have a ruler, the Money god, that is already enslaving many, killing others, and silencing dissent. I might actually prefer if my ruler was some superintelligent logical being rather a than few male 60yos hoping to book the next trip to some harem island that might or might not have minors in it taken directly from the territories at war around the world

I wonder what's worse :(

Your single existence might be ephemeral, but humanity isn't, your community isn't, and possibly your family either

Individualism breaks that sense of purpose, and it teaches us that happiness is made by personal enjoyment of often exclusive activities

If we lose trust in our community or in humanity in general, if we imagine the next person to only care about themselves, basivally if we expect individualism from others, we lose hope of feeling a more community-oriented form of happiness! And unfortunately in many places that situation is expected, because people are often indeed individualistic

Actually about Gates, does anyone know about his stance on the current fascist takeover?

Absolutely not, I did not imply that, the post is about digital reproduction/ownership of music (if I haven't misunderstood it)

And that is, basically, free, a very "low" cost of copying bytes. What we pay on Spotify and Apple Music are not the artists, not their instruments or recording hardware or mastering software.

We pay the intermediaries.

Concerts, museums, theatres, etc, have high costs so I'm completely fine for them to cost money to the visitors.
