Hm I disagree with this pov, during the Industrial Revolution you couldn’t just choose not to work, you would die. We can choose to not engage with our phones, we can choose a different path. BUT the pressures of life have carved out a path for us like the one you describe. But we are comparatively less locked in to this path than in the 19th century

I worked grocery for 10 years starting from the bottom. Every contract renewal, workers lost something. I watched as triple time turned into double time, then time-and-a-half, then only a dollar more. Sunday pay was no longer. Then there were barriers to earn double time on holidays, for example, you’d have to work at least 18 months for the company before they would offer you double time. The most frustrating thing about that was listening to the workers that had been there 25+ years brag about how much they were making. They are the ones that also failed us, they didn’t keep the union strong, and now every grocery worker is paying that cost. The years and years it took to get those worker protections are gone. I had coworkers that were denied benefits because they weren’t “technically” full time employees, yet would work 40 hours per week…but the rule was, you could only gain full time benefits if you worked 40 hour weeks for 16 weeks in a row. You know what management did? They worked my coworker 40 hrs a week for 15 weeks, then on week 16 they got 39 hours. We need a workers revolution. We are all working class. If you use your mind or your body to earn money, you are working class.

People forget why we have union employers. Most forget corporations extract the most out of a 13 hour work day with little rest and compensation for the employee. Oh how far we have come and how little we've achieved when it comes to full time employee's.

And people aren’t even really sure if they want regulation because the concept is more abstract than physical labor.

I fear we have hit a singularity 😭 or are very close to one. a year ago I was debating completely abandoning social media and short-form consumption altogether, and now almost every day I struggle with maintaining attention on anything else. I average like 12 hours a day consuming 😭 and I KNOW if I’m doing something, then others are too; and some even worse 😭 so it must be absolutely awful across the board. With how AI and algorithms know us better than we know ourselves too, we’re almost all at risk of being eventually turned into drones 😭 most people right NOW can’t tell AI videos apart, are arguing in clearly divisive channels meant to clearly just divide them, and will consume their vice of choice with a smile now, instead of with shame 😭 genuinely scary, how do we ethically fight back against such a large unethical attack on humanity? What do we even do other than just put these things down 😭
