you step into a class and draw a line down the middle.

to the students on the left , you pass them a note that asks them how much would they pay to hear you recite some poetry you wrote last night.

to the students on the right, you pass them a note that asks them how much would they pay so that they wont have to listen to you recite the (same) poetry you wrote last night.

its not just free. it can be worth negative money too.


efficiency is the enemy of employment, no?

The amount of work expands to fill the available labour. All other things being equal, at least. Which they aren't, but it's a usefully wrong model.

There’s many praises to sing about efficiency, (and I don’t take your 1 liner as a position against it). That said, efficiency, job creation, and underemployment overlap quite a bit.

There’s far more scientists, programmers, and doctors today than farmers and stablehands.

At the same time, people who lost manufacturing jobs to automation and outsourcing, did not get jobs with equivalent pay and growth.

Human brains do not get retrained very easily, and so every technological revolution is a boon to those who grasp it, and a challenge for those who invested their time in skills no longer in demand.


Nursing massively expanded but they didn't want to take it.

You can't expect factory workers to magically turn into nurses. Sure, people can learn new things, but human skillsets are not entirely fungible.

i realise there are plenty of alu boats on the water. but im still not quite sure how they keep the aluminium away from iron in practice.

Just to get the ferry from Tasmania to South America.
