      Tbh people usually don't even do that much less work when they aren't forced either, they just do what they actually want to. Like before this shit I was taking a shop class that I'm pretty sure was entirely SSI recipients because if you GO FUCKING INSANE if you do nothing.

      "doing something" isn't at all the same thing as "doing work", even if you're producing something by your action.

      The actual definition of "work" is that you're not doing it because you want to but to fill some kind of need

      The big argument of the Cold War should not reduced to the strawman (freely used by both sides) of "How do you get people to do stuff instead of just sitting around all day" It's the *coordination* problem, "How do you get people to do the specific things that need doing"

      Which ties into the arguments about the exchange vs labor theory of value Okay, everyone at our factory spent years working on these ball bearings, but it turns out they just became obsolete and no one can use them for anything anymore Do we still get paid

      The harsh inconvenient truth that the rest of the world doesn't care much about what inspires or motivates you, and the *product* of most careers people undertake out of love or passion doesn't actually help other people very much

      Most home cooks who cook for the love of cooking could not survive cooking for big groups of people in a restaurant, much less a communal dining hall To make that work you have to do all this shit to be more efficient that makes cooking no longer fun or creative, but work

      Most home gardens planted with love and care don't even make enough food to actually feed the one person who planted it To make it into a working farm takes the fun out of it and adds all these chores and hard choices that make it work

      Even in purely creative fields this is the dynamic We all know this by now Millions of people churn out billions of words of free fiction and nonfiction memoir and analysis for no compensation every day And it's all unreadable garbage

      Like, mathematically it really is "all", Sturgeon's Law was a ratio for professional, published fiction and applied to the Internet it's astoundingly generous, in terms of sheer volume the ratio of bad to good is like a rounding error

      You personally aren't aware of how high the ratio is because you aren't even aware most of the bad stuff exists It passes through the universe without anyone even being aware it was posted The only pleasure it added to the world was the writer's act of writing it

          And that's, you know, fine It's not hurting anybody But when people say "Why do we even need such thing as a publishing industry to try to reward people for making popular art, art just happens by magic, it's a fundamental byproduct of the human experience" Come on

          Is it necessary that good writers be paid in money in order to give them a reason to become good No, although in a world where everything else is purchased in money it certainly helps But in order to actually write things other people want to read, writing becomes work

          A worthy enough reason to write it, but your point is taken

          True, I only read fics I personally get no pleasure out of. Entire tumblrs and forums are devoted to how much they hate it. No one who has written fic has ever been a talented writer who has others edit their work but was kept from a career due to publishing hegemony

          That's my point, you don't read the vast majority of the fic that gets written Nobody does Even if you wanted to, it's literally physically impossible
