Imagine if jobs weren’t tied to survival. Like, imagine people got paid for whatever they did. Raise a kid? Government sends you the wage. Community work? Fill out the wage application, describe what you did, wage. Work some job? Wage. Overpaid? Taxed more. Underpaid? Subsidised. Sat on your ass and charged other people rent? Jail.
Then consider what it would mean for ai to take over a bunch of jobs. More money into the pool to pay the wages of creative work, community work, and say UBI. Tech improvements would be celebrated. The economy would be democratised. We’d all benefit.

There are good lists of alternatives out there. For Germany, I like this one: https://lmaa.space/

For simple batch edits, resizing or conversion it’s amazing tho.


Many of them also subscribe to a middle eastern religion. You’d think they’d be huge fans of the place.


Perhaps, but I think that a lot of USians have experienced something different without realising. Consider the medium density mixed use walkable situation that is Disney World or a cruise ship or a vacation in some beach town or in Venice, or even of many university campuses. I think familiarity with the language of urbanism is maybe as important as the experience of different types.


Base 10 is nice for crossing regimes of scales, orders of magnitude. But we don’t really engage with temperature that way. The problem I have with F-heit on its own, is that it’s much too precise. The difference of a degree is meaningless, especially when considering weather. Fahrenheit weather maps are cluttered, dials and buttons on thermostats and in cars are slow, thermometer readings change too frequently, etc. USian shoe sizes have the opposite problem. If you need to use half sizes all the time then FFS just multiply the scale by 2.
I found it a captivating film to watch. It was powerful and left its impression. I’m glad I saw it, no regrets at all, and I recommend it but I think one viewing suffices.
