    Same energy as the shopping cart theorem. One of the few good things that came out of 4chan.

      Hmm

      To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as correct, the appropriate thing to do

      to be fair, productivity is divorced from wellbeing under the current system (i.e., automation lowers wages/ removes jobs), and so creating work for an employee (i.e., the Keynesian “digging holes in the ground and filling them back up”) is not an insane position.

        Yeah, I’ve automated parts of my job for at least the last 15 years and never have I showed a boss or colleague, if they knew I’d either get more work from the boss or a colleague would steal it when they leave and soon every fucker would be using it
