dont worry about that other commenter. They're angry that their argument in another comment was argued against, and now they look stupid.
I would cut cars in half and weld them into the other halves of other cars
my world could be different if I owned my time
Self ownership is the basis of capitalism and you're already playing the game, you're just playing it bad.
if you're on hourly I want you to ask yourself if you would pay someone else what you earn at work to do whatever you just did in the last hour.
if not why not? did you explicitly set aside this time to be unproductive? do you think people doing better than you let themselves slide like that?
Humans do not like the same thing over and over every day
Speak for yourself, I love having a routine and getting in the zone. Autonomy and Mastery are worth more to me than money.
I would sleep a lot more, that's for sure.
I would make video games. I'd even do some adult ones, since I've noticed the existing ones aren't super great.
Gymnastics, surfing, and study and write philosophical works. And maybe practice guitar.
I would spend my time the same way. Honing my specialization to increase benefit to society. I love software development!
Probably sleep or do gamedev in a full time fashion.
I would love to do more with animation especially non-traditional animation like LED or Pinscreen, but the barrier of entry is just too high.
I'd do what I'm doing now but I'd be helping hospitals and schools instead of companies.
I feel the same about my job. I love what I do, I just wish it was targeted towards helping my community rather than generating profits for rich capitalists
What's stopping you? Academia is in dire need of software/computer engineering researchers.
Produce documentaries, develop a video game
I'd love to spend more time planting trees. I volunteer to do it occasionally on weekends but I really love the process of going from sprout to seedling to planted. I just wish I could do more of it.
You can do this right now, OP. If you donβt like living in a society just fuck off into the wilderness and do you. There are enormous swaths of land in this world where nobody will ever bother you. Whatβs stopping you?
I would offer people money to work for me.
And then i would help them optimize their brainspace to be more efficient at helping me.
I would allow them to use my workshop to create things that benefit the community. Like tools and Labor.
I would keep watch over the water and electrical lines and repair and service them if needed.
I would train people to do that for me and pay them.
In a society oriented to our own interest and the interests of our community, no one would do work for you for money, especially since money would cease to exist.
In a society like you described money would be created. First as bartering and then eventually a form of money will start to exist.
If that's capitalist society didn't exist you'd spend your time hunting, gathering, farming band generally ensuring you had food on the table. You wouldn't have time or energy to do those other things you dream of. And nor would anyone else.
