Society's Acceptance of the 40-Hour Work Week

The world will always have victims, we as a society just have to be comfortable with how shitty we treat those victims.

Will it always have victims? Probably. Must it always have victims? Absolutely not.

The capacity already exists for humans to impose no victimization on all mammals, but it happens because to be human means to be a chimp with more brain cells

I think this is where you and I fundamentally differ. Humans will remain the same for a long time. I say there must be victims. That's how the world is set up. As society we love competition and that love among the many other things that make us human is what produces victims.

I didn't say anything different than this.

You're right that it won't happen for a long time, possibly ever. But this is not technically mandated, and with enough technological development, it will become easier to go beyond victimization.

Personally, I do not think it will ever be done, but it *can* be. BTW, there are huge differences in victimization in different world cultures already. Huge ones

Depends. Among modern nations, it is only easy here if you have a STEM skill set. Compared to virtually every other modern nation, US lags in virtually every way. Compared to some like in Scandinavia, US is way behind.

However, compared to places like Russia, US is much better. In other ways, US is worse than any nation other than places like Liberia where shit is just unbearably bad. An example is that US imprisons more people than Stalin did, and we have 5% of the world's population, yet 25% of the world's prison population. So if you're black and poor in the US, shit is reeeeeaally bad for you compared to white and educated
