> an endless supply of people who will chattelize themselves for a moment of pleasure

Or perhaps they "chattelize" to survive?

There's not much pleasure to be had from gig work apart from the freedom to perhaps choose your own hours and perhaps be free of a human boss. Both of which are quite the opposite of chattelizing, in the short term.

Define survival first and we can have a conversation

They have birthday parties and loving embraces in deprived ghettos that have community solidarity

The most beautiful human interactions I’ve ever seen are in the absolute most deprived poor places including when I was working in the fucking Balad hospital in 2010

Virtue does not come from work

I won't debate the definition of survival with a "tired old" developer (oh sorry, "founder") who's idea of virtue is summed up in their own quote regarding creating yet another app for the Apple/Google chattel system:

"I rarely get to see my kids. That's a risk you have to take."

Oh this is so great!

I’ve been waiting for someone to pull that one out as a gotcha…

But hey good for you for doing a bunch of searching about me personally (because I intentionally use my name so that people can do precisely what you’re doing) which indicates that I have triggered you to the extent where you’ve taken time out of your day to go and look me up personally

		I have ADHD so me searching the internet is like breathing. Nothing special. And your quote, inflammatory marketing slop that it is, is top and center in the images after searching your name once. "A bunch of searching" is not required. There's not much out there about you that requires digging into, just the usual founders' must-haves (crunchbase profile, paid write-ups, personal blog etc). Nothing special there either. But please do enjoy the extra attention from me. Because that is special. To me.
