same
I think Orwell was not as correct as Aldous Huxley
about how freedom gets crushed
pleasure is a powerful tool of distraction and even enslavement
we experience a mix or both
TFW a lot of hentais are true
its Brave New World as long as you just give in to working and hedonism and it becomes 1984 when the former is being questioned
yeah we do get a mix of both, but its easy to imagine VR completely taking over 30% of the population or more in 20 years
right now, they don't know how to make people productive, while also providing enough pleasure to reduce their bravery to become assertive or confrontational to bad policies, etc.
whoever they may be
the corporatists and politicians typically
imo
wdym make people productive?
ah gotcha
yeah had to edit a bunch
beers in class?
@What Would Jack Conte Do? Wait until they get UBI in place
true
but then people aren't productive at all
well, manual labor goes to automation, specialized jobs require education which sometimes leads to wrongthink
and its like 'why keep them around'
No, the people who WANT to be productive will be
yeah i guess
but being surrounded by pleasure kind of makes it harder to pursue ambitions
self employment is discouraged, having a lever is preferred
Our globalist overlords will find a solution
