Ask a colleague why they refuse to use their extremely convenient car, and bike or walk to work instead. They say it's the pollution. You point out that pollution from commuting automobiles is far smaller than you'd think. Then it's car accidents. You mention bike accidents are more dangerous. Then, finally: The process is the point. The struggle. The muscle soreness. The breeze on your face, the smell of the spring air. How they're afraid that if we automate all forms of physical exertion, we'll end up with atrophied bodies and a blinkered appreciation of the world.
It's not reasoning. They're ra...well, hold on. Actually, they kind of have a point! What if there is a problem with automating every single form of physical exertion, including recreational activities? What if humans are too tempted by frictionless efficiency? What if we slowly lose unquantifiable goods?
Ah, forget it. That's probably me just rationalizing my gut instincts.
@ArrowFilmsVideo The Dollars boxset is absolutely shameless. Guess we can ignore all future LE individual releases because everything will get boxed up, anyway.
