    It gets blurry sometimes, especially from reductionistic pop nihilist types that say stuff like the machines are at least as worthy as the mere human "meat puppets" being replaced or even destroyed by them.

    Disclaimer: I'm not saying machines doing work is bad. I'm saying that people that use sophistry to explain why people shouldn't even push back when capitalism fucks people over with machines that could have instead made their lives better are bad.

      So, I'm not smart enough to really understand what 'non-fungible' means, so I took "people are non-funglible" to basically more or less mean "people are good and I love them." That, to me, seems a basic tenant of leftism.

        What it means is that people shouldn't be seen as interchangeable, redundant, or disposable just because there are other people that can ostensibly take their place, or something "superior" to them for that matter.

        “people are good and I love them.”

        That probably is as far as you need to go. :avoheart:
