Disagree

Very few people are self starters, I’ve become fixated on increasing the productivity of the population. Anyone excluded or encumbered has things to address why that is, and then add them to the productivity machine. At one point women weren’t included, other marginalized people are excluded, some populations have a tendency to suicide unless we affirm their feelings and then they are productive. All of that fits within my philosophy and makes the tweaks to the workflow easy adopt, if it means more people are included in the productivity engine.

Most of the comments are one level deeper “lets condition all of society to be self starters” with no proposal on how to do so

Incentives it is



But productive to build what? Is productivity what makes people happy and fulfilled?


the economy, its a resource allocation system, the most efficient one concocted so far

people have to find their own purpose, partially enabled with the proceeds of their productivity, otherwise that’s not a problem being solved for
