  • And your ancestors also subsistence farmed and didn't have all the technology you do.

    Look I'm as big a critics of our modern capital-industrial system as the next person but it's crazy to not see how technology has made people more productive and given us more wealth.

    Also the idea that peasants had lore days off is sorts debunked: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/kks6tq/comment/gh4oh5c

    It is however quite true that people during the industrial revolution itself were working way more hours than previously which is why the whole labor movement kicked off. We appreciate the gains of previous ancestors fighting for our labor rights.

    Could things be better? Certainly. Is automation being maliciously targeted towards art and creativity at the expense of not increasing productivity and reducing drudgery? No.

    Free for who?

    When I say a sandwich is free, who is it free for? There's no such thing as a free sandwich. Someone bears the cost.
