this is all because service work is female coded huh

yeah, the population bomb guys we’re basically right but we solved the problem by increasing agriculture output per worker by like 100 fold

people think agriculture is fully solved science for some reason and, uh, it’s not

The "bullshit jobs" thing and general devaluing of technical/managerial capacity was always bad

i don't know who remembers this but a certain somebody used to call into news shows, say random inflammatory shit on twitter, etc at least weekly and often daily to make sure that he was already the center of attention and nobody else got to define him modern attention economy is a different game
