Such a capitalist mindset to think that there's one major in college that is "useless". The point of us doing everything is to pursue those "useless" endeavors—art, science, philosophy, things that enrich and preserve our culture and humanity.
Only thinking of majors as useful in terms of money and ROI are why we get people who think AI is coming for everyone's jobs. AI doing most of our work should be a good thing! So we can focus on other things!
@teacherbuknoy@masto.aiIsn't it that we want a future with robots and ultra advanced technologies so we can just… do whatever we want? Without worrying about where we're getting our food or how we're gonna clothe ourselves? It's a much more meaningful life, or at least we have a better chance for it, if we don't wake up everyday doing another 9-5 job that's just signing papers or moving tickets from pending to ongoing to done in a kanban board.
@teacherbuknoy I agree with both of these posts!
My degree was in Classics (Latin and Greek) and yet I’ve worked in software for years. No degree is useless.
Keynes thought we’d have already reduced the work week by this time, and it does feel like we have the tech and the wealth worldwide to relieve people of having to work so many hours, if we really wanted to.
