@@ach9108 So you’re saying that because of capitalism we have worse quality stuff at higher prices? You’re not making a very good case for capitalism bro
Well they became pretty useless, didn't they? If I can make something without a worker for a fraction of the cost, then it is an act of charity to keep that worker and not go for the machine. Our entire lifestyle would have been completely impossible if we succumbed to that mentality. You aren't entitled to shit. Everyone has the opportunity to keep learning and bettering themselves. If your entire career evolves around applying the exact same procedure over and over again for decades, then that is on you. As to the quality of fabric, that's up to the consumer. If a fabric is half as strong and resilient but is 10x as cheap then consumers are going to go for the 2nd option obviously. Though in that case you would expect a niche market of rich consumers that still want the higher quality hand made product. But that demand is incomparable to the pre-innovation demand obviously.

I wonder how society coped with the change in technology, just as today with AI permeating everything now, creating art, AI authors, scanning actors, I imagine the change then was quite slow and people adapted eventually. Today though it all seems to be happening very fast...if you are of a certain age it can seem a bit rubbish..time to discuss things with my nephews and niece and hear their optimism..maybe.

It is a shame that merit today is not just based on what device you carry in your pocket, but also the brand and it's ability to not have office people have to fight gravity and stand up 😂
it will happen :) workers are organizing. it starts with asking "who does this technology REALLY benefit"... then by absolutely seizing the means of production 100% thru any means necessary. How can this technology be used to help protect the commonality and workers as well as maintaining a ethical built high quality product instead of settling for big tech stealing and capturing our data and replacing workers with a less than superior product. Time to regulate. Mount the eff up.

Welcome to capitalism, adapt or die

"No more chant your old rhymes about old Robin Hood
His feats I do little admire
I'll sing the achievements of General Ludd
Now the hero of Nottinghamshire.
Brave Ludd was to measures of violence unused
'till his sufferings became so severe
That at last to defend his own interest he rose
And for the great fight did prepare.
The guilty may fear but no vengeance he aims
At the honest man's life or estate
His wrath is entirely confined to wide frames
And to those that would prices abate.
Those engines of mischief were sentenced to die
By unanimous vote of the trade
And Ludd who can all opposition defy
Was the grand executioner made.
And when in the work he destruction employs
Himself to no method confines
By fire and by water he gets them destroyed
For the elements aid his designs.
Whether guarded by soldiers along the highway
Or closely secured in a room
He shivers them up by night and by day
And nothing can soften their doom.
Ye may censure great Ludd's disrespect for the laws
Who ne'er for a moment reflects
That foul imposition alone was the cause
Which produced these unhappy effects.
Let the haughty the humble no longer oppress
Then shall Ludd sheath his conquering sword
His grievances instantly meet with redress
Then peace shall be quickly restored.
Let the wise and the great lend their aid and advice
Nor e'er their assistance withdraw
Till full-fashioned work at the old-fashioned price
Is established by custom and law.
Then the trade when this arduous contest is o'er
Shall raise in full splendor its head
And colting and cutting and swearing no more
Shall deprive all his workers of bread."

Luddite is a great slur for people not accepting technology for any reason if only because they don't know what it means
Agree. Every major technology shift has had its share of Luddites...
So it was like the anti AI crowd we have today
Based
It is a shame that merit today is not just based on what device you carry in your pocket, but also the brand and it's ability to not have office people have to fight gravity and stand up 😂
It would be nice if the Americans who narrate these videos would educate themselves on how to correctly pronounce British place names.
We're just a bunch of language luddites over here 😂 thanks for watching despite the pronunciation frustration 🙏
Probably nothing of this ever happened 🙄
This was REAL:/
It didn’t
yeah hahaha, and nor did the moon landing, is that right?
it will happen :)
workers are organizing.
it starts with asking "who does this technology REALLY benefit"...
then by absolutely seizing the means of production 100% thru any means necessary.
