victorian-style child labor is obviously bad but modern-style child uselessness is pretty bad too
@empathy2000 I had a discussion on a discord server with a 13-year-old girl about why young people aren't permitted to do paid work. In response to "what would children even do that people would pay for?" I offered to pay her to read an intro to EA, and suggested she ask her parents for permission. Unfortunately, she didn't want to be paid, but she did say she was going to read it. ^^
@niplav @empathy2000 On the one hand, yes definitely absolutely in the short-term. There are so many reasons it could be better. On the other hand, I'm old-fashioned and still yearn for us to get to a post-money world, so I'm reluctant to make the money-system better in a way that postpones that!
