The world's entire population could be easily housed and fed with only 30% of the current global labour output - our collective suffering is manufactured by capitalism.

@ianrogers "We do not need to accept a trade-off between well-being and ecology, and we do not need to accept the continuation of imperialist arrangements. The problem can be resolved with a different approach to the question of growth and poverty. Good social indicators can be achieved with substantially less aggregate production than what characterizes today’s high-income countries, which are highly inefficient at converting throughput and output into human well-being."

@ianrogers the part that you've highlighted puts some helpful numbers to this reality. Incredible to think we can get everybody out of poverty while cutting our current resource and energy use by 70% at the same time.

@tsyum @ianrogers Luxury is inefficient by design. It's conspicuous consumption. And it doesn't even work -- the ultra-rich are no happier than anyone else. Resources in the hands of the rich might just as well be on fire.

@ianrogers I think that's a really conservative estimate; it's probably closer to 5-10%, and rapidly going even lower if we spent some of that labor intentionally optimizing it.

@ianrogers before the Industrial revolution, most people had far more leisure than today. So much of what we do is to keep the capitalist machine running

@ianrogers

There are more than enough "Houses of Worship" that sit mostly empty, heated, with the plumbing, most even have kitchens, WiFi..... They should all be converted to accessible housing on their own dime.

@ianrogers If it doesn't make rich kunts richer, it's dead in the water. Eat the rich.

@ianrogers note: the source speaks of 30% of current global resource and energy use, which is not the same as 30% of the current global labour output. (e.g., knowledge workers don't "produce" anything that would consume resources, but it's still an output of their labour)
