🤔 労働の意義と社会的影響

労働は社会の重要な部分であり、YouTuberのように労働を通じて自己実現を目指す人もいます。一方で、労働は人々の生活の一部であり、4日間の労働週を試行した国々がその効果を証明しています。アイスランドの労働週の短縮は、 happier, less likely to experience burnout, healthier overall と評価されており、80％以上のアイスランド人は労働時間を短縮したり、その権利を得ました。

10:03

🔍 労働の多面性と社会的理論

このエピソードでは、通常の悪いことに焦点を当てたビデオとは異なり、労働に関するいくつかの質問に答え、政治理論の側面も取り上げています。アメリカの主要政党は、労働時間を減らすことを目指していないにもかかわらず、労働は人々の尊厳やコミュニティにおける位置づけに関連しています。

15:04

🛠 労働の定義と社会的役割

労働は世界に影響を与えるための身体的または精神的な努力であり、护士や電気工、教師など、労働者たちが起き上がらないと社会は崩壊します。労働は有給または無給で報酬を受け取る場合がありますが、労働に対する社会的価値は異なります。多くの人々は、労働が意味のあるものであるかどうかに関心を持ち、アメリカと英国では約25％の人々が自分の仕事が無意味であると感じています。

20:04

🏛 労働の社会的意義と経済的側面

多くの人々が一日中何もしないと自白するにもかかわらず、コンピュータの後ろで時間を無駄に過ごしている現実を指摘しています。この経済のコストは非常に高価で、労働者は人生を奪われています。労働は、生産性や意味のある生活を向上させるために改善されるべきであり、労働時間の短縮は、生産性の最大化を超えた精神的被害を軽減する手段として意味があります。

🌐 労働の未来と社会的変革

労働時間の決定は、法律によって制限される唯一の制限であり、過去の労働者運動のおかげで12時間の労働日から現在のような状況に変わりました。労働時間の決定は、労働の必要性と人々のリザーブに基づいて行われるべきであり、経済的決定に民主主義を含めることで、より公正で意味のある労働の未来を築くことができます。

Transcripts

this episode and others like it are made

possible by the generous support of my

patrons on patreon my adsense revenue

has completely tanked in the last couple

months so if you'd like to help support

this channel and get a bunch of cool

perks while you're at it consider

becoming a patron at patreon.com second

thought

what if we stopped working no really

what if tomorrow we just didn't clock in

what if every single one of us just

stopped right now and saw what would

happen bikini bottom is literally in a

state of total chaos tonight oh

literally

the real answer is things would go

downhill real fast

it would be like so bad empty shelves

empty cities empty promises even we

wouldn't make it very long without

anybody doing anything we call work

but that doesn't make what if we stopped

working a useless question because in an

otherwise simple answer it would suck

there's something a little more

interesting hiding in the background

just out of focus what is that enhance

enhance

if the answer to what if we stopped

working is we can't that begs the

question how close can we get and that

question well that question has some

pretty interesting answers let's back up

if you go to parties you've probably

been asked the question what do you do

if you answer i make youtube videos no

you don't who would ever give you the

chance to give that answer

see the joke here is that youtubers have

no friends like no one at all like

bottom of the barrel trapped in a pit of

loneliness

anyway the fact that what do you do is

the default punch bowl question

demonstrates at least one thing about

our current society work is one of if

not the biggest part of our lives but it

doesn't have to be

already multiple countries are trying

out things like a four-day work week how

does this work in countries like new

zealand spain and iceland they ran

experiments with shortening the work

week to just four days and then they

wrote down the results and now we're

looking at them

one of the better known cases here is

iceland which ran a couple experiments

between 2015 and 2019 after unions

started pushing for more time off for a

lucky 2 500 icelandics

icelandists for a lucky 2 500 people

time on the job was decreased to just 4

days going from 40 to around 35 hours a

week crucially without salaries going

down even a single frozen fish or

whatever they use for currency over

there unsurprisingly it worked really

well people were happier less likely to

experience burnout healthier overall

they just had a better life and thanks

to the successes of the experiment and

the strength of trade unions over 80

percent of people in all of iceland

shortened their working hours or gained

the right to after these trials were run

even fancy business people in suits were

happier because they got to save on some

of their costs and didn't see a dip in

productivity because as you might not

find very surprising productivity has a

diminishing returns curve the longer you

work the less productive you are each

new hour of time on the job brings less

and less benefit and is more and more

justified in being lopped off entirely

and these sorts of experiments are all

well and good but what if we went even

further this week's episode is a little

different usually videos on this channel

focus on the bad stuff

we hate bad stuff sorry ignore him i

don't know how he got in here and no

doubt about it this video is still going

to have some of that with a side of

political theory to appease the nerds

but for the next 15 or so minutes we're

mainly going to answer a couple

questions about work what it is why it's

such a big deal for some people and why

it could just not be because it could we

don't need to work so damn hard you'd

think that that fact would make for easy

political points just right there for

the taking who wouldn't vote for the

candidate or the party that's going to

make their lives more pleasant less

constrained more free of work and in

some countries they do have that kind of

politics but the reality is that neither

major political party here in the u.s is

trying to reduce the time we spend at

work

we have to get back to work our people

want to work they want to go back

they have to go back a job's about a lot

more than a paycheck it's about your

dignity it's about respect it's about

your place in the community

neither party is trying to meaningfully

reduce our working hours despite enough

people hating their jobs so much that

forbes of all magazines can run a

listicle with 15 ways to quote rise

above resenting your job with such

helpful tips as get over it

that's not to say that the sentiment

doesn't exist at all in our government

democrat mark takano is trying to get a

bill for a 32-hour work week through

congress but by and large neither party

is anti-work should they be

okay let's go over some definitions

despite being an illegal wordle guess

work is actually a word work is the

effect we have on the world it's using

your physical or mental effort to

achieve something without any work at

all by anyone we'd all die without

nurses electricians teachers people

getting out of bed to make breakfast

society would crumble pretty quickly we

would be completely idle and not for

long some amount of work always needs to

be done nowadays some work gets paid

with money and some work gets paid with

no money or barely any money and also

disdain being against work or anti-work

if you spend any time on the worst place

on the internet isn't ignoring that fact

it's recognizing that some work always

needs to be done but that the conditions

that shape that work should be different

than they are now it's saying that the

goal shouldn't be to work as much as

possible but as little as possible to

achieve what we want the goal is to

maximize leisure and the quality of that

leisure by balancing that interest with

the necessity of work the goal isn't to

not work at all but to work for things

that matter and on good terms this is

gonna sound really obvious but for most

of us that's not how work goes work is

something we need to do to get access to

the things we need to live like food

shelter and health care under capitalism

the only way to get these basic

necessities of life is to work in some

way or another and get a wage at the end

you work or you starve seems pretty

coercive while at work you have no or

very little input on your work

conditions sometimes they're okay other

times not on top of that our whole lives

are conditioning us for that reality and

imbuing it with value work will set you

free no pain no gain or there's no such

thing as a free lunch are some examples

of the ideological discourse that

accompanies the material reality of

coercion and makes it seem more natural

more palatable our necessity to work is

accompanied by a psychopolitics trying

to enshrine work in the largest possible

sense as a value but it doesn't seem to

work as well as the benefactors of that

discourse wanted to when you consider

how much of our time we spend thinking

about not working whether it's dreaming

up a vacation we want to take

fantasizing about winning the lottery

and quitting or buying an ironic

garfield mug it seems like we all want

to stop working pretty badly and yet

when we're given the chance a good chunk

of us keep working even when we don't

need to some billionaires still work as

do many lottery winners retirees often

volunteer or continue working in some

capacity even when their needs are met

and they're supposed to be in the part

of their lives where they stop

so do we like to work or do we hate it

the obvious answer is that it depends

what does it depend on meaning

when we find work meaningful we're more

than happy to do it and there are a

couple ways that work can have meaning

there's the most obvious one which is

that work which allows us to develop our

talents and interests to self-actualize

then there's work that grants us

autonomy and control over the work

itself and the product of that work and

of course there's work that produces

something of importance these kinds of

really obvious factors give work meaning

and help explain why people work on

things even when they have no need to

and could live in complete and total

leisure but unfortunately in the us and

the uk around a quarter of people feel

like their job is completely meaningless

and a big chunk of people on top of that

aren't really sure don't really know if

their job is meaningless they just don't

know they can't figure it out which is

really to say that their jobs aren't

evidently meaningful either that doesn't

mean that every single one of their jobs

is entirely pointless meaning and

purpose are different even if there's

bound to be a big overlap in that group

between pointless and meaningless work

but it definitely means that at the very

least those jobs are alienating they're

jobs that feel bad to do they're jobs

that aren't imbued with meaning and

that's not even the whole picture of the

eight to nine hours spent every day at

work by millions of people between 1.5

and 3 of them are spent on private

activities we might call this wasted

time not in the sense that it's not good

it's totally fine by me but in the sense

that it's not really the purpose of

being at your job but as you might

expect or are doing right now watching

this video in which case nice workers

spending that time on personal things

are still pretending like they're being

productive during these hours of work

that aren't quite downtime but aren't

quite work either it's ridiculous while

part of this rightfully stolen time is a

form of worker resistance the clear

majority of it comes from having nothing

to do but being stuck at work forced to

keep up the appearance of click-clacking

away or calling people who really don't

want to talk to you just because that's

what your boss expects you're not really

free to do what you want but you're not

really working either and when people

are working not committing quote time

theft and even bigger number of them are

working on pointless mind-numbing tasks

like moving data from one excel

spreadsheet to another responding to

emails or writing reports for someone to

throw in a drawer and never look at

busy work the point of all this is that

there's a tremendous number of people

who do nothing at all all day by their

own admission but still have to do it

there's a true army's worth of people

wasting their lives behind computers

standing up for long hours in the same

two square feet working through the

night and for what a great many of them

just for the appearance of productivity

or the appearance of luxury or the

appearance of importance to make someone

else feel good and pad their wallet just

that little bit more by making sure

everyone else knows how very important

they are

after all why would someone who's not

important have all those underlings the

cost of this economy is

tremendous workers are being

robbed of a life and we have a terrible

response to this fact of modern society

in liberal circles the idea is to

redirect everybody to public works

projects achieve full employment

bringing money into people's hands so

they can spend it on goods that

recirculate that money into the economy

and produce more trying to give quote

dignity to jobs that are clearly just

exploitation turned up to 11. on the

right

the idea is to pump more money into

businesses on the foolish hope that

they're going to just create more jobs

or deregulate workers rights to the

extreme so that they can fire everybody

into the worst kind of poverty we can

conjure up and pay the lucky few still

employed next to nothing run the leanest

operation possible uberize everything

and sell the precarity of unstable low

paid work without a safety net as

choosing your own hours or being your

own boss

very few people are willing to embrace

the most obvious conclusion a lot of

this is unnecessary we're working too

much if we distribute the workload and

the benefits more evenly we can work a

lot less

politics isn't the only place where

myopic conclusions about work are

reached when we get out of the realm of

explicitly political discourse and into

the space we arbitrarily separate out as

social the same tropes and attachment to

work aren't hard to find hustle culture

the rise and grind set whatever you want

to call the ideology juice that gets a

millionaire to spend his free time

flipping garage sale toys for 15 bucks

this modern phenomenon is another way in

which this political attachment to the

protestant work ethic gets absorbed into

our everyday lives another way to try to

attach meaning to exploitative work

rather than limit labor to work that is

already meaningful and practical instead

shaping people's entire identity around

turning idle time into another buck

clearly we have an abundance of free

time right there for the taking so many

people wouldn't feel like their jobs

were meaningless if there wasn't some

truth to it so much time at work

wouldn't be spent slacking if it

couldn't be the truth is we've made

tremendous progress in terms of

productivity over the last 100 years

automation and industrialization alone

have taken some of the more laborious

activities we used to call work out of

human hands entirely but in over 80

years the 40-hour work week hasn't

budged

it's not laziness to ask for more time

for leisure it's efficiency it's purely

pragmatic we accomplish the same amount

in a couple hours as it used to take a

full day more on a monday than used to

be possible with most of a week we

automated away many of the things we

didn't want to do so that we had the

time to do the things that we do want to

do spending that time we earned creating

new jobs where we feel stuck at work for

hours on end just because we have no

good mechanism to distribute work and

protect the unemployed means failing to

realize the goals of automation it is

wasting all that progress and yes it's

undoubtedly not so black and white some

of the industrialization and automation

of the past century has allowed us to

take on new work that does actually

improve our quality of life but focusing

exclusively on that to justify useless

jobs with the sole purpose of padding

some higher-ups wallet and satisfying

the doctrine that well everybody has to

work is ignoring the main way we could

be improving our lives today making work

a smaller part of it

okay so what if we tried answering the

question how close can we get to

eliminating work in an unscientific way

if we took the estimate of 25 of people

having meaningless jobs at face value

which in all fairness is a stretch we

are eliminating 25 of our work hours

work weeks go from 40 hours to 32 here

in the us that's not bad and we don't

have to accept the fact that these jobs

are actually meaningless to want to

reduce the time spent on them even if

these jobs do have a purpose the feeling

of meaninglessness they create clearly

demonstrates that they are incredibly

mentally damaging for the people working

in them reducing those hours like we

would with incredibly physically

demanding jobs makes sense beyond a

strict productivity maximization

framework in another example what if we

took that statistic about one and a half

to three hours being completely wasted

every day taking that into account you

end up with somewhere between a 27 and a

33 hour work week that's also pretty

good and if this seems like an absurd

way to calculate how much time we're

working i agree with you i shouldn't be

plucking numbers out of this or that

study doing simple divisions and calling

it a day

but this is no less absurd than how we

determine work hours right now just a

couple people at every company write

your contract they set your working

hours with the only limit being what the

law says they can't go over pushing most

industries right up to that 40 hour

clock out and the only reason that

number isn't any higher is thanks to

decades of worker agitation revolts

protests demonstrations other synonyms

for people being angry clawing it from

industry were it not for the gains of

militant workers we'd still be punching

in 12 hour days side by side with newly

minted 12 year olds this is an absurd

way to decide how much work needs to be

done letting a couple guys make all

their demands and only tempering them

when society faces mass scale agitation

and violence bubbling up in the streets

is absurd it shouldn't get to this point

the clearly better way to determine

working time is to work for necessity

and desire to make decisions in common

about needs and allocations of resources

to use governments organizations and

democracy everywhere across the board to

establish how much we work and how much

we set aside for leisure to disentangle

work from necessity so that we can

really make these decisions without

constantly fearing for our meals and

fighting others for the scraps

in short to include democracy in

economic decisions to take into account

our resources and desire to work without

constantly fearing that every drop of

sweat we don't shed means worrying about

being taken over by the other sweatier

worker at the other sweatier company to

stop people who profiteer off the work

of others by hogging everyone else's

free time to not have a system that

decides how much we work based on how

much the guy at the top really wants a

new watch missed birthdays funerals and

every other life event in between be

damned now this isn't about getting back

to some primitive way of life idealized

beyond the reality of tremendous

hardship and ableism past societies

encountered without the technological

and social advancements we have today

this is about taking stock of all the

time going straight down the drain for

no good reason other than keeping an

unjust system chugging along this is

about enjoying a life like we have now

with more time to actually enjoy it if

you spent a couple less hours at best

buy would society be okay or autozone or

making coffee or on the clock in your

cubicle sure gdp could go down a bit but

we already know how the gdp gets broken

down between the rich and the poor

anyway we wouldn't be maximizing profits

and exhausting all the human labor power

at our disposal but that is not the

point of being human in the first place

so long as we can reorganize our society

towards one in which gdp dips aren't

synonymous with austerity for the

majority where we care more about the

productive resources at our disposal

than the numbers on a screen meant as a

proxy of those resources we can

dramatically change the nature of work

and how much time we decide to put into

it even without touching those

structures we can still meaningfully cut

our work time today burnout rates are

through the roof more and more people

are being pushed into holding multiple

jobs people are desperate for leisure

time but can't afford to take it we as

human beings need time to do whatever we

want for everyone art music reading

going back to school watching tv shows

playing sports cooking being with

friends traveling volunteering farming

doing literally nothing or even working

just on something else it's within our

reach our obsession with the ideology of

work and the coercive model of

decision-making holding our society

captive are the only barriers to its

achievement we can build a world where

work is rewarding meaningful and fair
