Anyone else feel really bad for kids in school or just entering college? With AI they really have no future. It's kind of mind breaking. It kind of changes the purpose of a human from producing in the economy to what? Consuming? Maybe political action? The latter sounds cool. Maybe if no one works everyone can just be political and make sure things are distributed fairly.

>>82948520but some kiddo entering a maths degree or engineering its kinda fucked imo
>>82948513Why should I feel bad for them? They're going into the machine that creates workers so that they themselves can become workers. That's all it is. The problem is, that its all a sham. I could go to university and work my ass off to become a teacher and teach the subject that I got a stupid associates for, which will do nothing but to fuel the system and churn out more bored, disillusioned mediocre patrons of the universities. I'm meant to be an artist, why the fuck would I go to the worker factory and become one of them? It's bullshit. Absolute bullshit. If you have real passion for something, you chase it until the fucking sky has fallen. Kids are shoved into university because its the option that everyone wants them to be in. It sucks, its stupid, the people who attend them are half mindless drones and half beautiful stacies and chads who should one hundred percent actually go there. I dont care if its an unbalanced system, id rather have them and the passionate rule than the mediocre shits who will waste away at an office desk for eternity.
>>82948571I don't know I understand that what you're saying is true at a systemic level. But there's withing the confines of the system something beautiful about studying to do what you want to do and prove your worth and potential that they'll miss out on. Maybe not exactly the current generation but others maybe 5 years down the line. There's like a whole aesthetic of the smart kids the dumb kids sort of how you see in anime. This quest for good grades, discipline, some kind of perfection and an effort for knowledge and knowing the universe to a degree as well, perhaps for puerile productive economic reasons but there's something there in any degree. Now I'm not fully on board, I've always been an outsider and I never graduated from anything, but I can see that aesthetic dying away. Is it a rather modern construct? I suppose it started with mass education before people would work just manual labor or in their family businesses, so this kind of knowledge-based rite or at least in the current educational system is rather recent like back to the mid 1800s? At least for mass adoption. Obviously mostly the elite back then. Yeah, I mean it's slop to a degree and I'm romanticizing it. But there's something cool about that 18 year old kid trying to learn physics who thinks he's bright and full of potential and it will go away inevitably at least for most people.
