| Details | Smartphones and high-speed computers have advanced our productivity sufficiently and are vital to our daily lives. However, our everyday environment is not much different from before and is surrounded by more "bullshit jobs". It's as if someone were out there making up bullshit jobs to keep us all working. Here, let us consider the meaning of "bullshit". Indeed, Bitcoin has been touted as an innovative method of information security as distributed ledger technology (DLT). GAFA's "centralization of information" can be decentralized by this DLT technology. However, the spread of blockchain technology is considered "bullshit" for three reasons discussed in this paper. Blockchain mining cannot wipe out uncertainties about the future. To try to automate "bullshit jobs" through human enhancement such as the Internet of Ability (IoA), it is necessary to carefully analyze, break down "bullshit jobs" and render unto man's jobs. |
