Figma is dead. Long live DESIGN.md
typeui.shWhy are we automating all creative human endeavors and none of the annoying chores?
Why are we building towards a future where humans clean toilets while machines create art?
To what end?
the target market for this kind of automation is people who regard design as an annoying chore
The end is capitalist maximalism. Hiring artists is expensive, so they get automated away. Hiring janitors less so.
Why are we sticking to capitalism?
To what end?
Because no one has come up with anything better. We're all ears, got any original suggestions?
Maybe being unable to believe that anything better than capitalism is possible is part of the problem.
Talk is cheap in any economic system, and no one will shoot you for proposing new ones... at least under capitalism. Let's hear what you've got.
Why is it my responsibility or anyone else's to do your thinking for you?
I've seen more than enough of your political comments to know you aren't arguing in good faith here. You aren't interested in a discussion, you're interested in an argument. You consider capitalism to be the only moral, just and valid system by definition, and you consider any possible faults with capitalism to be the result of not doing capitalism hard enough.
When you can view politics and economics in something other than religious terms then maybe we can talk honestly about capitalism and its alternatives. Otherwise, I mean, all you intend to bring to the table is "free market good, leftists bad" and I've already met a million of you here.
Understood. Maybe some other time, then.
We're sticking to capitalism because capitalists are the ones making the investments and the laws and the decisions. If you want to change the system to something other than capitalism, pick up a gun and start a revolution.
And the end should be obvious, because capitalism has one and only one goal - making the capitalists richer.
How are the capitalists gonna get richer when nobody can afford their products anymore?
Better start our grifting careers then.
