This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I don't think it's a problem that we keep coming up with new stuff for people to do (I think we will probably see more and more people employed doing things we previously would have regarded as too frivolous to professionalize).
My point is more that administrivia is somewhat self-perpetuating. Partly this is a function of Jevon's Paradox - as we get more efficient at doing paperwork, one of the biggest results is more paperwork. We now control and track and analyze stuff that would have been impractical to the point of impossibility 50 years ago. Contra some of my other respondents, I don't actually think that this work is useless (otherwise they'd get squeezed out by employers looking to cut costs), but I think it is unlikely to go away without a deliberate effort because it also a function of our prevailing employment paradigm.
Having mulled it over, Jevon's Paradox is probably the wrong conceptual reference. For the foreseeable future, you still need humans to do some stuff. This is real, valuable work, but it may not actually take up most of their time (especially if AI actually delivers on productivity improvements). However, their employer still expects them to be available full time, which means they expect to be paid full-time, which means their employer expects them work full time*, which means creating busywork. Sometimes this is merely stuff of marginal value, sometimes it is outright time wasting. Either way, getting rid of this institutional waste heat and shifting to a genuinely fully automated process would require that you both be able to fully replace human activity with machine activity (not simply augment it) and to step outside of how we currently organize work.
*Also the employees generally want full time employment and prefer employers who offer it
