Work

Robert — Mon, 01 May 2023 18:31:04 +0500

I work no matter what, because that’s what we, men, are supposed to do. In fact, we need to work more — so future generations aren’t faced with work that is even more threatening. Work should ideally be a favorite pastime; working time directives and many child labor restrictions should be axed.

Work ethic is essential; there is no excuse for bad work.

A lot of good work sadly goes unsung: few think about the unseen effort that it takes to keep society running smoothly. To all the invisible workers: thank you for your service.

Freedom spurs good work and creativity. Minimum wage legislation should be cancelled: it steals opportunities from beginners.

I seek work for what I will learn more than for what I will earn. I work selectively, in a flow state.

All of this said, the time people have to spend working should tend to zero: there should be no need for human work at all. Saying “TGIF” is a symptom of wage slavery.

Calendar checkmark macro

Robert:

Some events require preparation. To indicate whether I have prepared, I add a checkmark next to an event’s name:

To avoid clicking and typing, I made a Keyboard Maëstro macro. All I have to do to add a checkmark is hover over an event’s name and press ⇧⌥W.

Driverless trains

Robert:

How have driverless trains still not replaced normal ones? I get the situation with cars, as they need approvals and laws, but trains are different.

Moscow metro directors say that the intervals will be longer than with traditional drivers, but this can’t possibly be real. There is much more communication between driverless trains that between normal ones, so the intervals would be the same or smaller. Sure, the technology may need upgrading, but this is a no-brainer for a worthwhile investment.

I’ve been in several driverless trains: Paris’s airport shuttle, Milan’s M5 line, London’s DLR, the Turin metro, Pisa’s airport shuttle. They all work really well and insure more security than regular trains.

Don’t procrastinate, automate!
