What does your life around your house look like when you can shamelessly leave a mess everywhere? It almost makes the uncomfortable with the amount of laziness it enables. At least with a human maid you still feel shame leaving a mess, but a robot?

If you believe that thankless, pointless busywork is a virtue, then surely, Sisyphus must be the most virtuous man of them all.

Cleaning is pointless?

If there's an automated system to do it for you conveniently, it becomes.

I have come to think cleaning is actually one of the most virtuous acts for a human. Even more so as we live in societies which produce waste as a fundamental mode of operation

Funny enough, i'm 38 now and often enough thankless and 'pointless' busywork sometimes feels like a virtue.

But only for me because I have the feeling i lived out my normal environment and i'm not rich enough yet to expand so I can become busy again in a more meaningful way. Specifically having a big house/workshop to do things in my future workshop.

All the mindfulness threads on this site would like a word.

It is, but we want our habitat to be clean.

If robots can fight entropy for us, all the better.

being aware of and tending to your immediate environment (including cleaning it) is not thankless, pointless busywork. it's important to maintain some level of relationship to your environment; the more we disengage with it, the likelier we are to care less for it or the people who share it.

Our lives are thankless pointless busy work in the end, I feel like the end game of transhumanists is just having us all in Matrix style pods, 100% efficient, no pain, no waste
