Sooner or later all jobs will be gone: from the visual effects engineers to drivers, from strawberry pickers to programmers, project managers, and possible even politicians. It is the only possible end of a ruthless system ruthlessly optimized for increasing efficiency. We can blame, or thank, for that Frederick Winslow Taylor, father of scientific management: "in the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first." [1]. Although it could be argued he only took to conclusions the lessons learned by the Venetian Arsenal starting from 1104 [2]: it's easier to replace a bolt if you have another one just like that. The only question is what we are going to do then, as always, after the fact. [1] https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Frederick_Winslow_Taylor#:~:te... [2] "one of the earliest large-scale industrial enterprises in history", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venetian_Arsenal |
