Maintenance is not just boring, it is metaboring Boring is when you change the channel because a dull show on Metaboring is the realization that there’s nothing good on TV and you have to turn it off and do something else for a bit Maintenance is metaboringness for life itself

I’m comfortable being a member of the maintenance priesthood. Fundamentally, people enjoy boring infrastructure; enables them to do fun art stuff. There can be a masochistic glee in it though. Home remodeling is probably 45% evil; just live in a crappier house, people.

My battle line is: stop maintaining 20th century ideological boomer-status-crap-apparatus, but we still need a labor class to make roads and fix broken shit. Automation enables more creative play over time, but gravity still tears down houses & bodies and we should fight that.

I think you’re wrong on one thing: maintenance load on individuals has not gone up over time. Complexity of an individual’s life hasn’t either. Maintenance in most areas of life is actually easier now, so we just pick up more things to maintain in order to stay competitive

to expand - Your value(ascribed) as a human being is proportional to how much interesting novelty you can generate consistently. The more routine work less likely money made, if you do novel work then money made is based on interestingness.

True but a long tweetstorm to explain the replenishment economy CPG brands have capitalized on for decades. Maintenance is the worst!!
