The bigger picture always mattered more than the cogs in the machine.
The cogs _are_ the machine

i guarantee that's what basedchris looks like
Indeed, but progress comes from the cohesive structure of the whole that makes success - government, organized systems. It makes sense why government/media has the most money and power! - self interest drives the common man to work in sewers , not noble sentiment.
Then why doesn't Africa have a lot of effective sewer systems?
Short answer, they're stupid, long answer, they're poor, and the super long answer is they don't care to build an effective system.

hence why they wont be going to the moon anytime soon
They do not care to build an effective system
An effective system obviously has to be build and maintained by people, workers
Well europeans gave them a system but they didnt maintain it effectively.
maybe they should just go back to being tribal
And the most difficult and "unglamorous" work is in reality, imo, the most heroic
literal keets
I agree, with respect to doctors and nurses.
care workers, but even them can be heartless and doing it just for the money and lack of oportunities elsewhere.
Point is that if sewer workers are "only in it for the money" and not in it for "maintaining an effective sewerage system"
Pretty soon the shit is overflowing in the streets and people get sick
isnt sewage in the western world mostly automated machine work maintainence nowadays anyway?
its not like some guy is wading through shit anymore
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know, it's just an example of necessary labour
Could think of bin men or garbage men instead
some guy in a building twisting nobs to make sure the machines keep working to clean the water aint impressive work imo.
The ones who come to haul away household waste
I'd think nurses and doctors are more noble.
>sewage in the western world
If everything is commodified and the only thing motivating people is money
It's not good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvPakzqM3h8 @Hermitage guess its not such a terrible job, imagine africans making these, nope, not happening.
It might not be _so bad,_ except that the money incentivizes people towards the unnecessary rather than the necessary
yeh, I agree on princple, its not good, but its the way it is.
"our viking ancestors"
LMFAO
there is no better alternative.
