we live in very special times. take a step back and appreciate how transformative the recent years are.

for a billion years, life existed on earth. in the last 200 years, we invented electricity, electric cars and transistors.

If there isn't a machine to do it then maybe there's a quick product fix, or we get contractors. For a manual labour intensive industry it's amazing to see the lengths a lot of men will go to to avoid actual manual tasks.

That's because if you fuck around and invent a new tool or machine, then you never have to do that job again and also could maybe make a shit ton of money off the invention and never have to do any job again. Then maybe eventually after we all invent stuff to do all our work, we can turn our attention to the endless fires all around us and the melting ice and the weird bugs that keep sneaking into my house even though I made sure to put tape around my window unit air conditioner and the ozone layer and 9-11 and stuff.
