Actually, I was talking about the people at Chipotle and anybody who takes those quotations seriously. Perhaps the people who wrote the quotations are actually intellectuals. If so, they’re wasting their time doing stuff for fast food bags.
My guess is that that process is in place because customers screamed and complained when they didn’t get exactly what they wanted under another process (through their own fault, but that’s irrelevant to those who’d complain).
Well, presumably they’re getting paid, which seems like a decent use of their time. I certainly wouldn’t mind getting money to write a blurb to put on a burrito bag.
As for Chipotle, its a little cheesy, but they gotta put something on their bag. Some philosophical blurb makes at least as much sense as an endorsement from a sports star or whatever.
I love Chipotle. But getting all the bloodstains out of my underwear is a nightmare.
Dammit, and here I built my whole life philosophy around Chipotle bags. I guess I gotta go back to quoting Doc Bronners or something.
Chipotle, not Chipolte. That common error bothers me much more than communism or pretension.
“There will come a time when you won’t even be ashamed if you are fat. Wa wa wa wa!”
The quote says nothing about nobody working. Presumably, in the future world described, plenty of people would work. They wouldn’t need to, but some people would want to, and if enough people wanted to, all of the work would be done.
“…all just sit around feeling love for one another.”
That sounds to me like everybody does nothing but sitting around feeling love for one another. In other words, not working.
I know exactly how you feel, even sven. I decided to build my life around what I read in fortune cookies. Luckily, most of them are so vague that it doesn’t matter. Then I got one that said, “You have a future in medical research.” Well, I couldn’t get any medical school to accept me as a student, so instead I’ve arranged to donate my body to science when I die.
It seems to be describing a post-scarcity high-tech utopia to me. You know, with all necessary work handled by machines and technology. I believe a popular TV show was based on this premise.
Actually, the “…all just sit around feeling love for one another” part strongly infers that no one works.
There has never been a time since Eve bit the apple that humans have not had to work to eat, so I’m not sure where your presumption originates. Empirical evidence shows that when the need to work is artificially removed, a significant portion of the population will choose not to work. The size of that portion can’t be accurately measured because there is no way to truly remove the need to work long term. A short lived study in an artificially created environment just wouldn’t give a true picture. Manipulating people in the study to believe they never to work again would be unethical. My jaded presumption is exactly oposite of yours.
Interestingly, the quote parallels exactly the mainstream Christian view of Heaven by, adding “and God” to the end. A common meme is “I don’t want to go to heaven and sit around all day singing praises. How boring”. I wonder how many people long for the world envsioned in the quote but also subscribe to the meme, essentially saying “I’d do it for a lifetime, but not for eternity”.
