[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular opinion: None of us deserve what we have. Most people can do our jobs with two years of training, and most of us produce nothing of real value to society. The world would lose nothing if our individual professional contributions never occurred. We are fortunate to be in a part of the machine that provides us with some wealth, but we are all just passing the time pretending we matter.[/quote]

+1 Lots more luck involved than work like people think [/quote]

[b]I think the only people around here providing real value are doctors and people doing technical work[/b]

Lawyers, don't get me started, finance are actually incentivized to reduce jobs, people in management don't do any real work most of the time, marketing Americans don't need to be buying more crap

No, technical people are some of the very worst. Because they have skills to build and maintain things of real value for people who need it, but most of their genius is spent building a bluetooth enabled cereal bowl, or microtargeting an advertisement for said cereal bowl. They build tons of crap that no one needs with resources that we don't have. The world would be far better off if the vast majority of technical innovation simply stopped and was rerouted towards maintenance and greater global distribution of existing technologies. But that won't happen. Instead we'll use all the rare earth minerals building bright digital billboards and delivery drone fleets that junk up the sky.
