Not quite, because that still leaves one detail out of the picture, as you can't yet produce things without life.

This culture values things that are useful, and people who don't do as they are told, or in cases like these, oppose the things others(usually those who make the rules) want to do, then people become opposite to useful in their eyes.

Life has value as long as it is productive, because you can't quite yet make things without labour, but I think this small little inconvenience should be taken care of, as machines are much better at doing things. They don't tire out, do not require money, days off or anything else that blights the usual fragile organic worker.

Or as I like to call it, this culture likes to turn people into machines who perform menial repetitive tasks ad infinitum. And while all of this is utterly insane, it's the only way to keep the broken system going, so unfortunately we are kind of stuck with it until we develop something better.

Isn't that a bit too much?

Like I talked about this with Eltu, the purpose of a forum is to talk, and if we only talk things strictly related to the topic, then this place would be far less interesting. People would just post less, because they wouldn't want to upset the neat order of things, and to me, that doesn't make sense.

We all talk about the things we know about and think are appropriate, and I don't see anything inappropriate or unrelated, though maybe that's because I have completely lost it due to allowing myself to have feelings again. In such case, I apologize for my lack of objectivity, but for now, I think that's not the case.
