    Without passion. And create art. Doing what you love by being yourself. Other people define and say you will follow your heart. Happy and free, not love your art and by inspiring people letting others tell you you can change the world.

      Doing what you love by being yourself.

      Makes sense…

      letting others tell you you can change the world.

      Well, if only if only…

    These are the glimmers of a human race I could respect and even feel pride to be a part of rather than shame.

    Hoarding capital profit at the direct expense of your fellow man, ie our global economy? Not so much. Burn all the sociopathic, dehumanizing capital markets to the ground and nothing of actual value will have been lost.

    Long term, the human race would wonder why we tolerated them for so long, demanding we remain one another’s enemies, working against each other selfishly trying to get mooooooore than the the next person, leaving our brothers and sisters to die in the streets for the sin of being sub-optimal capital batteries, not even mentioning what they do to our shared, solitary, irreplaceable habitat without a second thought.

    As it is, most of us are coerced to act more like mindless insects slaving for an uncaring queen than individuals with intrinsic value and a need to self-express.

      Unfortunately there is only so much you can work with given our language.

      I’m already impressed enough at how well-crafted it is as-is.

      My guy, all jobs are ultimately pointless if you look at it from the biggest perspective. The best that they can do is to make someone happier, which art does by adding meaning and beauty to people’s lives.

      Edit: additionally, we actually have enough for everyone, and most conventional jobs ultimately end up exploiting the shit out of nature and humanity for the benefit of the rich. Art is fine.

      says the guy emotionally moved by a piece of art.

      You’ve never read a book, listened to music, watched a movie or TV show, you don’t hang art on your walls and you never went to school?

      You’ve been consuming art your whole life and, for a great many people, contributing to them paying their way.

      Every ticket bought, every ad you watched, every game played: funding artists.

        “funding artists” is more like. “Giving artists barely enough to scrape by and the rest of the actual profits to the shareholders”

      I would honestly say that the creation of art is more important than most current jobs in society.

      Art is what I really live for, most of everything is either about survival, comfort, or convenience. Remember, most of the entertainment you consume is a form of art, from videogames, to tv shows, to youtube videos, to books, to drawings, to stories.

      Without art, life would have much less meaning for me.

          So are about half of the white collar office roles, so will about half of general warehouse labor with the robotics coming in, including multiple humanoid competitors.

          When 30%+ unemployment is the new normal within the decade, will you still side with system of the gluttonous owners who tell us to fight to the death in tribute to their greed? Will you declare that a third of the population dying in the streets as just lazy and not the dwindling employed’s problem?

          Do you want to live in a society?
