This world we create is so disgusting.
Tech billionaires paying the least possible amount for “work” which borders slavery.
And everyone seems to be OK with it.
It’s not just that it’s slavery, but it’s literally destroying the people doing it. Being exposed to so much horrendous content has lasting impact. It’s like the coal mines (or any number of other body destroying examples) but it’s not lungs that suffer, it’s the brain.
I’d argue that every kind of slavery literally destroys the slaves…kinda by definition :-(
But yeah, this “job” is horrible. Especially if you don’t even know what will suddenly hit you after you applied for a seemingly harmless job.
I would say that it wasn’t us, the ordinary people, who created this terrible world, but we definitely allowed the worst among us to do so - and we even rewarded them for it, so that this monstrous world is now ruled by the most ruthless, like a monarchy that was believed to have been overcome. Apparently, civilizational progress is not bound to the passage of time, as I strongly suspect that we are regressing civilizational: back to absolutism with its degenerate rulers who give free rein to their perverse desires - and they can do so, because they are at the top of a society they exploit with impunity.
Well put and yes, that’s sadly true. We just sit there and watched people seize control who should never have had ANY kind of control over anything in the first place.
This species sadly highly rewards the psychological dark triad (or tetrad) so well, it hurts. The worst that humanity has to offer has the highest chance to lead it. Not even a question of sex or race or anything, it’s just us.
