the reason that programmers are so elitist is because we lack proper labor unions, so our job security is based mainly on gatekeeping the skills necessary to do our job. there i said it

@deersyrup i disagree, i think computers should stick the 1992 graphics demo ass looking wobbly cube in more places

The reduction of all human activity to transaction trades is dehumanizing. As is reducing all human activity to materialistic economic exchanges.

I talk about it this way, I reduce what is in fact “being decent to your fellow person” to “economics” because in this society we operate with the false and destructive assumption that if a thing does not provide a quantifiable profit, if it cannot be quantified, if it cannot be bought or sold, then it is without meaning or value.

if it has value anyways, then we presume that it *should* be transactionalized in order for somebody, somewhere, to be able to make money off of it.

This is extremely dehumanizing. It is not an accurate understanding of real life human behavior.

It is, by the literal definition of the word, extremely idealistic, even if the neo-liberal ideals are framed as if they are cynical and “realistic”
