Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

basically warning of a possible Gattaca like scenario where your prospects are determined by the purity of your DNA
Ohhhhhhh they were being critical of the concept. I was wondering why an official MIT account would spout eugenics talking points lol
Plenty of MIT/Harvard types are into eugenics. Don’t be fooled by the level of education someone has, doesn’t mean anything about their morals or ethics
Oh im well aware of how popular eugenics is among academics. I was just suprised theyd post that on twitter
Academics, not really. Too many, but not that many.
Faux intellectuals with a bachelor's degree and the arrogance to pretend that makes them an expert in a field, yes.
MIT is quite different from the other Ivy Leagues.
I am so glad humanity has no history of using very bad metrics to make decisions with.
