I just saw Elon Musk proclaim that in ten years we won't need jobs and it won't be a problem to have what we need (with the caveat that fulfilment will be a problem.)

And I just came back from my bullshit job and well. After not working over the last year or more, a bullshit job is better than not having one (at least for myself).

Crass

I haven't read it but I like the quotes you used and I imagine that the book is making a good point. In saying that my job is complete BS, I work with a bunch of interesting people that are qualified and experienced in other fields suck as IT, journalism, etc. The fulfillment part is interesting. Purpose, or what not.

Some of these politicians today look like the most insipid bunch of humans I have ever encountered (I'm from the greater European area) and this leads me to think that if you are not making the world a better place, it's a bullshit job.

BTW. UBI sounds just horrible.
