    Really beautiful. We shouldn’t let capitalism ruin our utopia of the future, that’s a way of winning without playing the game.

    • My problem is that I absolutely loath gardening. I love the gardens; I hate the upkeep. Weeding, tending, watering, repotting, fertilizing, pruning… I’d rather clean toilets. It’s so hard on my back, I’m miserable being outside when it’s hot or humid, and we don’t control the weather.

      Someone’s taking care of all that. It’s lovely… if it’s someone else.

          They exist, but they’re crude. Indoor farms tend to be labor intensive, meaning they have a lot of incentive to automate, but nobody has a really good system yet.

          Knowing when a tomato is ripe and how to pick it off the plant is one of the better uses for AI image recognition and robotics, IMO.

        I got you, fam! I would love to be the one breaking my back, sweating in the dirt, and fighting the weeds. Especially if someone else is handling the toilets. From my point of view, the thing we seem to be missing the most in society today is a sense of real purpose. I think I could absolutely find that through working a community-sustaining garden.
