I just wanted you to know that.

But also, labor should come with a ranked ELO system for unlockable cosmetics and titles to make society more productive than it has ever been before.

    People did the shitty jobs before there was even money or capitalism. I would absolutely work in a sewer if I could also live a comfotable life otherwise and knew I was being genuinely useful to others. And we could prioritize automating said shitty jobs. Why not have shit drones for sewers? Why not have your local library drop you off a Roomba once a week or so to clean your floors for you? Why not aggressively automate mundane bullshit if capital isn't using slave wages as a substitute?

    We talk about FALGSC like it's some far-off dream, but we do have the technology now to do a lot of it, if only we could abolish wage labor. We might not be dyson sphering the sun, but we can certainly more equitably distribute the benefits of automation.
