Jun 20, 2026, 2:06 AM@minmi WOW that's some razor-sharp rhetoric there, I am in awe of "giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism". I wish I'd thought of that etc.

@mxchara I feel like his works get bandied about so much you kind of forget what a giant of a man he was and what a genius.
Jun 20, 2026, 11:43 AMI've repeatedly asked people of influence how they see participation in society* when factories will be fully automated.
Seeing as the first fully automated factories have been online for a decade or two, this seems like a practical question for anyone who participates in society in any active manner.
The question isn't usually taken well. Pro-tip.

* How do people buy food, how many hours are people expected to work, democracy in the broadest sense of the word, etc.
