See, I would classify learning for learning's sake to be productive.
And, yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say
Learning by itself isn't being productive because it doesn't produce anything. Doing things with that knowledge would be productive.
Keep in mind the context of this thread is work, which gives a context to being 'productive' that is wasting time making someone else money to get a pittance.
I separate work under capitalism from community directed, individually motivated, anarchially organised work. Hence the first edit.
Learning is a requirement of productivity, productivity cannot exist without learning, therefore learning is productive.
I don't think people have an issue with work, they have an issue with the current state.
The post is about capitalism.
