@admitsWrongIfProven No, I am addressing what you actually claimed rather than dealing in moving the goal post fallacy is all.

You said we dont have leisure from automation.. yet we do.. if you live a life like before automation (1000+ years back) your life would have a great deal of leisure relative to what it was like living that same lifestype pre-automation.

@admitsWrongIfProven See titus in kentucky as an example.. He has no job, and very little expenses.. its a prime example of how people could easily have a life of leisure off just 5 hours of work a **month** but they dont because they want their iphones and electricity.

@garyackerman AS someone who managed a few large open source communities I can say the solution is in modularization.. Just gotta make sure its divided into lots of smaller parts that dont seem overwhleming individually.

@TruthSandwich

On this we agree, attacking people for being career is just stupid.. especially when there are so many legit reasons to dislike AoC

@LouisIngenthron way to go man, you earned it!

@LouisIngenthron Part of the challenge is of course coming up with something unique enough and useful enough that it wont be drown out by noise, and superior enough to get the top reviews.

Not claiming it is easy, only that passive income is more accessible to those without money than ever before.. maybe more so than the rich (who often dont have the skills to exploit it)

@LouisIngenthron I mean, it has to be software that fills a need yea... but how can it loose money. You mean with time invested?

@LouisIngenthron

> I assume, in your software example, you're referring to maintenance and support contracts?

No I am talking about writing simple software tools you put in some marketplace somewhere and make money off of as people buy your app for a few dollars.. you release a version and aside from a few fixes its passive.

@GooseTheCat

Actually there has been some research lately that makes that a bit suspect. They found all the recent book bans we hear about in person lately actually can be traced back to a very small number of people. Suggesting very few people are campaigning (successfully) to ban books.

@admitsWrongIfProven Thats the fault of the people and their spendings not automation.

Automation has been happening for thousands of years.. plumbing automated the process where people would haul out shit on carts, the wheel and wagons provided an automation for transporting goods... it is nothing new.

The thing is when each new automation increased the wealth for EVERYONE people also had new demands on their quality of living.

Imagine if everyone lived like the amish, a life style similar to what it was 1000 some years ago.. no electricity, no modern anything... It would cost you 100$ to live and you could literally work just an hour or two a day and sit by a river all day. You can have that leisure from automation right now... but you dont want that, instead you want all the wealth and do more work, so you get the electricity and the modern home, and decide to work and pay more for it too.

With this the more you enjoy your first time the more likely it will be you last. It is not drugs. What is it?

In response to automation replacing jobs I often say "Get a career that is high-skill that cant be automated"...

What people thing I mean:

* Mathematician
* Programmer
* Electrical Engineer

What I mean:

* Everything above
* Magician
* Actor
* YouTuber
* Etc.

@LouisIngenthron I went from poor and on welfare to what some people might call rich (I wouldnt, but i guess it depends on where you draw the line)... regardless I did it on passive income. Its actually the one ofrm of income most accessible to the poor...

Anyone can learn to program as its all virtual, and programming is a gret way to write software and make passive income.

@ech more like "discuss later" vs "discuss now" UK vs US variants but kinda specific to congress/parliment,

@trinsec it isnt labled?
