Internet, Eh? @interneteh@sunbeam.city

@interneteh that's not weird. there's lots of good, valuable, important work to do that is not valued by capitalists.

@interneteh I often imagine what it would be like to build health care IT in a just socialist society. It's generally not the content of my work itself that is the problem. It's the hierarchy and the constant low-level (justified) fear of offending against it.

@interneteh nope, i think that's fairly normal, at least from my pov. i love to work hard, as long as i can see what im doing is good. not just endless stream of work with no end so someone else can make a lot of money.

@interneteh I don't think that's weird. I think that's the essence of socialism, really: people will do work if there is work to be done. You don't have to make it so that people have to work to be able to live; let them live without fear of falling short and the work will be all the better for it.

@interneteh People like doing stuff. Doing stuff (finding a place you remembered, getting fruit from a tree, hunting, flint knapping, building a shelter, etc.) triggers dopamine receptors in your brain in a way not dissimilar to what video games do. It's just that in the work environment, the behavioral encoding is foreign and alienating. New people who've never worked before love the dopamine rush for just a little bit until they're worn down. You see it every time.

@Lexi @interneteh gosh the work i would do if i didn't need to worry about income... i could switch up what i do and not stay locked into one thing for life. everything around work apart from work itself, locks people into a job set that is hard to break and honestly unfair

@interneteh @Lexi
