Freedom, what Freedom‽
This may hit a raw nerve so pardon me in advance.
Allow me to take you through a journey of a bot!
You, yes the reader are bots conditioned from the beginning to study, work hard and educate yourself from a prestigious institute and get a great job! And everything will be alright!
You have been fooled! By your society, influencer and your parents. You have volunteered to work hard and join a great corporation. In fact sleepwalked into serfdom.
There is a reason why you commit your time for your employer and not actual output during that time. At that point it is already the "job" of your employer to get most out of you, productivity. You are bots of the system... if it were a ship, you are making it work and run but nothing more than that... your choices have been limited by set of controls that insure compliance. Remember you volunteered for it... worked hard through the school for it... though your education was not entirely relevant nor prepared you for what was ahead. Now this "job" affords you to meet certain desires, life styles and goals. But these in fact are outside influences and controls that again insure compliance, subjugation and obedience. The onus of course is on you to maintain that job.
The thing of essence again is bondage of time and it's correlation with productivity. And your earnings again pegging you to your outside commitments such as a mortgage and a car loan and various other debts inherently connected with "time". You must maintain one to maintain others!
Nature of work is essentially same as well in it's repetitive nature, in essence a bot!
Many people ask and say I don't want my job to be lost to a robot... It is hard but in essence they in fact are exactly that! A robot replaced by a less fussy and cheaper one that can work for perpetuity.
Remember a corporation is a political entity, one that doesn't align with your ideals and identity. It makes you behave for it's best interest and not yours and it let's you go, should it become necessary... without any consideration on how loyal you had been or how much you endeavored or suffered or time your pledged or important moments in life you sacrificed for it. A corporation plays the short on humanity itself, a robotic/inanimate entity making bots out of humanity while outcompeting it and eventually replacing it with real bots.
Productivity and repetitive work essentially kills human ingenuity and hurts especially those who in fact are free and work for themselves...
An example is a door maker that carves intricate patterns and only makes few but great pieces of art and the other who essentially nails similar designs as fast as humanly possible. Or, in certain societies where women make woven clothes and carpets and putting time and effort in creating a unique piece every single time and their men sell those for a coin always getting undercut by bots working faster and harder on repetition.
Combined human effort throughout history has achieved much and contributing men were either slaves, devotees or had a common cause. Never have humans ever been so intricately enslaved in history, that too by base desires and then so hopelessly entangled with no way out!
Freedom is not your ability to bind yourself to your desires but your ability to abstain from them!
It is quite fitting that I posit this piece in the holy month of Ramadan. Where we train ourselves to be free all over again... where we train our senses, body and desires. Essentially putting mind over body and raise ourselves above the fray of base instincts, desires and lusts.
