Disinformation

Greetings good citizen. Our betters don't face the realities the rest of us are forced to deal with that's why they are using their propaganda in an attempt to defang a monster that threatens to destabilize civil society.

I can get a machine to do that is NOT slowing down and if your ability to contribute to society is taken by automation well, that's YOUR problem.

Increasingly the decidedly stilted conversation about automation and it's bastard child, A.I. preaches the mantra that each job removed from the labor force generates and 'opportunity' (two if you're really dumb!) to advance to a better position of 'machine babysitter/repair person'.

This is NOT a step up and the rationale behind giving your job to a robot is gaining momentum. This is NOT being done to 'relieve suffering by ending tedium' but because robots are a ONCE AND DONE. Install aN automaton and you never have to cut that robot a paycheck, it will never take vacation or a break for that matter and when it screws up it's probably time to replace it (not repair it.)

The factories that produce automatons are increasingly automated although the Farmers in Iowa are being taught to become tool & die makers! Gegner is a manufacturing man so he knows what 'tool & die' work is.

Dies are used in 'punch press' [metal stamping] work that ALL went overseas in the first wave of off-shoring because it is the most lucrative [intellectually anyway.] If those farmers aren't going to move to Shanghai they are NOT going to get a permanent job as a toolmaker.

Once upon a time electronics couldn't find enough people to man the production lines, it was the original driving force behind automation.

Everybody wanted the latest widget and there weren't enough of them to go around.

Thanks to automation widgets and goo-gaws are dirt cheap and now the problem has become that they are running out of unique ways to nail common components together.

But this ignores THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM...

Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?

HOW THE FUCK WILL 'I' LIVE?

Why is nobody paying attention to this serious attack on social cohesion? Because the 'task' of making yourself 'useful' remains YOUR PROBLEM.

Worse, the people running this shit show continue to insist that 'society' owes its members nothing [while its 'owners' live in the lap of luxury, contributing NOTHING!]

While this appears to be the stance of a 'hater' filled with jealous rage, strip away the 'victimhood' here and what remains is the truth.

Commerce [that thing we are supposed to make ourselves 'useful' to] has few opportunities and there are (and have been for a long time) more people that need an income than there are jobs that pay a living wage.

Left out of the conversation is the calculus behind automating.

It starts with how much does it cost to have an employee perform function A vs how automating that job would make output more 'consistent'.

No where is it taken into account the fact that your machines don't buy nevermind need/use the products they produce!

This is gross incompetence and those responsible are liable for their actions.

With a robot you will know to the decimal point what kind of output the machine will produce. With a human the best you can do is an 'average'. If the human is having a bad day their production goes to shit, not that robots don't have bad days, material condition can screw you hard and wrench the whole works.

So the 'managers of commerce' prefer to automate if only for 'consistency' purposes...and the humans this replaces are no worse the wear because the jobs that get automated are by no means 'rewarding'. They aren't mentally challenging or spiritually fulfilling but they are necessary cogs in a larger machine that produces 'life as we have come to know it'.

Humans are, er, 'impressionable' and susceptible to being infected by dangerous ideas...one of the most dangerous ideas is that life is supposed to be 'fulfilling' all by itself.

And if you had to face all the challenges nature threw at you alone it would be [non-stop chills, thrills and spills] because just like ancient man, your life would be best described as 'short & brutal'.

That most ancient of instincts would quickly rush to the fore like it was never abandoned and do you know what that instinct is?

You still sense it occasionally and sometimes find yourself willfully suppressing it and that is to urge to kill other humans on sight because they are the most treacherous beasts in the jungle.

Society, like hatred is a learned thing. Odd to hear [usually females] speak of 'the purpose we were created for'.

What 'purpose' do you suppose that was? Humans are not designed for combat [despite being the single most destructive creature in existence] and we are literally helpless for long periods of time leaving us susceptible to predation that never seemed succeeded in thinning our numbers.

Um, our sociability [literally our 'interdependence'] on one another was definitely forced. We were 'made' to need others in defiance of our 'nature'.

When you hear somebody waxing poetic about the 'purpose of life' do you mentally ask yourself what the fuck is wrong with them? The, er, GOAL of life is 'survival/personal' and each day you face that challenge despite being a member of a 'hive society'.

The people running the hive don't care about you. Wake up and smell the napalm!

If you have failed to make yourself useful to the hive the people running the hive honestly believe you should end yourself because you are drawing resources that they might need themselves someday. [Selfish? Check. Treacherous? Check. Feckless? Undoubtedly!]

What do you suppose dummy thinks is the 'purpose of life'?

Once upon a time our sorry asses were transported here to mine starship fuel, we came as (highly expendable) slaves that were abandoned in place once the planet had been stripped clean.

Were the scummier overlords abandoned as well because something on this planet doesn't like humans...in case you hadn't noticed.

Until we 'restructure' society [step away from the footing of perpetual war that keeps us from uniting] we won't learn the truth, that somebody [believe me 'unintentionally'] did mankind a huge favor by forcing us to cooperate with one another...someone had to mine and someone had to feed, house and, er, guard the miners/slaves...that's why our society is modeled the way it is.

We WERE a means to an end that no longer exists.

Don't you think it's time we take this 'gift' of cooperation and start using it in a way that helps us all?

The people that fear socialism are even more afraid of being prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.

Until next time Head,

Gegner

    Re-education in a skill that left these shores 50 years ago but the kids are too dumb to realize it only dumps fuel on a tinderbox waiting to burst into flames.

    Just like the cheats that promised to teach the 'disadvantaged' coding...not only did they not deliver [after taking their money] but it was revealed the whole operation was a scam from the outset!

    coding (like tool & die) ISN'T NEW! THERE ARE NO JOBS!

    When the people running society IGNORE this simple basic issue it is time to worry because they are up to no good.

    There isn't enough die work out there to feed an ant and you can't underbid China...thank to the banksters.

    Cracking this problem is EVERYONE'S JOB ONE. Automating jobs away only makes society more dangerous.

    Metal forming isn't 'new tech' and neither is coding...the reason the job market is stagnant is because there is NOTHING NEW

    WTF! Except babies, babies their parents can't afford and the morons are trying to outlaw terminating them.
