This is so true, and so widely misunderstood.

People cling to ā€œjobsā€. But every task a is an opportunity for civilizational advancement by its demise.

Job destruction is the root of all progress.

Job by an is root so

Job destruction is perhaps too broad a term. It’s pithy and catchy, but it includes regressive devastation. It might be more accurate to say job obsolescence.

Eliminating jobs is progress. There’s nothing regressive about it.

Jobs aren’t ā€œgoodsā€, economically speaking. They’re ā€œbadsā€.

I clearly understood your point and agree with you. Your response to me suggesting ā€œdestroyā€ isn’t the most precise word is to switch to the word ā€œeliminateā€ then try to convince me that I’m wrong. Weird!

Maybe you’re the type to say it’s a quarter past when it’s really only 13 minutes. That’s fine, but let me explain how your assertion leads to strange results if taken literally. Which, again, maybe you’re not the type.

I kill all the bees. I’ve eliminated beekeeper jobs. Progress!

I destroy all computers. I’ve eliminated all programmer jobs. Progress!

I throw a comet at the earth and kill everyone, eliminating all jobs and inflicting maximum progress. Yay!

You are correct that there are destructive ways to eliminate certain classes of jobs. Not all methods of eliminating certain classes of jobs are universally beneficent. šŸ™
