I believe that work should have no relationship to productivity at all. It suggests that we’re trying to reach some larger end goal—that if we do everything as efficiently as possible, we’ll be finished sooner, and then it will be done.

But that’s not the purpose of work. The purpose should be that everyone contributes a little. Only in hindsight does that reveal itself as the real goal.

Imagine we could already let AI take over all work. It would do everything and finish it all. And then what? Sure, we could all do whatever we enjoy. But anyone with a bit of sense understands that life is precisely about sometimes doing what you enjoy and sometimes not. It’s about that balance, and about learning from one another.

There is nothing to finish. You bunch of complete fools. And the faster you try to go, the faster you destroy everything. Is it really so hard to see that we keep making the same mistake? We’re not learning.
