Look at all the things that are the result of humans direct action. Now understand how many jobs occurred for the person that finally “did the thing” you’re looking at.

Hmm, this is actually a great perspective to look at this from. I’ll try this out

The intersectional jobs aee also a great tip. I’ll start digging

So essentially throwing a ton of things at the wall and seeing what sticks (when you don’t know what thing (eg. job) you actually want to aim for)? Hmm I can imagine that being the best approach at times

You are right that being delibarate about picking a strategy and constantly returning to it so it structures your ADHD brain is a very helpful approach. What I’m looking to hear about is people’s alternatives to the strategy of googling when the goal is finding real-world opportunities like jobs or housing. Ie. other methods for traversing that net of chaos.

Yeah, I feel like people on here have a bad habit of relating even completely unrelated posts back to US politics. But if you keep reading the news then your brain tends to do that.

I’ve blocked most of it with a keyword filter

It does feel like a bit of a purity contest/circlejerk to me at times though.

I guess that’s essentially what UBI is – benefits, except that they’re high enough and you’re not forced to seek for a job. The negative income tax could perhaps be constantly adjusted to respond to how many humans were currently needed in the economy; although I suppose that the size of the wages themselves would be enough to achieve this. Also, I think UBI could be paid for by taxing the robots, whenever it could be proved that the robot had the same abilities as an employee. The monthly tax could be the size of the replaced employee’s montly salary and it could go directly to the specific person that the robot replaced. Come to think of it, the legal framework could be that only employees are allowed to own robots (and not companies), and the robots would therefore work and earn directly on behalf of that person.
