Automation is removing effort from more parts of life — tasks become easier, answers faster, and results more accessible. But effort has long been tied to meaning.
In this short spoken-word reflection, Sindy explores whether meaning changes when effort disappears. When struggle, time, and difficulty fade, the value we assign to outcomes may quietly shift as well.
This isn’t about rejecting automation. It’s about asking how meaning forms when effort is no longer required.
SCRIPT:
So much is becoming easier now.
Tasks automated.
Answers generated.
Effort reduced or removed entirely.
And that sounds like progress.
But I keep wondering what happens to meaning
when effort fades away.
We often value things
because they took time.
Because they were difficult.
Because we had to work for them.
When effort disappears,
the result stays —
but the struggle doesn’t.
So maybe the question isn’t
whether automation is good or bad…
but whether meaning changes
when nothing is asked of us anymore.
