    Not only that, but someone who’s either stupid and/or immoral enough to continue doing this. If you’ve reached that level of intellectual laziness and personal responsibility, you might as well just coin flip every decision you make…

    I am not sure this logic holds because i am not sure anyone has been dedicated to write these for a while.

    Discovered years ago that many papers/magazines reuse the same generic texts for different horoscopes. Sometimes different horoscopes have the same text on the same day.

    Also different magazines will steal them From eachother.

    People usually only read their own and the text is generic enough you’re not going to remember seeing it again.

    I assume these will all be ai soon. Its the perfect low stakes job for it.

      From covid I have learnt the only real jobs are Retail, anything to do with logistics, and food production. You know the jobs with crap pay.

      Anything that helps society eudaimonily? What else would it be? A baker has legitimate employment, a grifting politician doesn’t. If you’re a moral relativist you might say things like “but goodness/usefulness is subjective!!!” but that’s just intellectual laziness and autistic fence sitting, in reality things are very clear cut besides a few examples.

        How do you define “Goodness/Usefulness”?

        What are the few examples of “things not being clear cut”?

        What are some examples of clear cut situations where people are fence sitting and being intellectually lazy?

    A lot of gifted and smart people fail at getting a “legitimate or useful” employment (define it, please). As see it everyday in academia.
