Ontological Forensics // Jobs

Jobs aren’t real.

This is not a metaphor, nor a critique, nor a sociological observation. It is a forensic finding. A structural determination. A statement of ontological fact.

The category "job" has never referred to anything that exists in the physical universe. There is no naturally occurring organism called a "job." No geological layer contains fossilized employment. You will not find "jobs" listed on the periodic table, unless accidentally, between argon and potassium, where a bored chemist once scribbled "lol" and was fired for it.

I. The Alleged Object: A "Job"

A job is said to be a stable arrangement between a human (H) and a system (S) whereby H performs labor (L) in exchange for compensation (C).

This proposition fails immediately.

1. H is unstable.

2. S is imaginary.

3. L is outsourced to machines.

4. **C is evaporating.

If every component is dissolving, the composite entity cannot be real. This is basic metaphysics.

II. The Material Evidence

Inspect any workplace. You will not find a job. You will find:

• flickering lights

• broken swivel chairs

• loose wires

• expired pastries

• a motivational poster urging you to "Strive"

None of these is a job.

You might find a manager, but managers are not evidence of jobs. Managers are evidence of joblessness wearing a badge.

III. The Economic Argument

Economists tell us that jobs are the backbone of the economy. This is incorrect. The backbone of the economy is debt. Jobs are the decorative cartilage economists gesture toward to avoid making eye contact with the abyss.

If jobs were real, wages would rise. They do not. Therefore, jobs are not real.

QED.

IV. The Political Argument

Politicians claim to "create jobs." This is the strongest evidence yet that jobs do not exist.

If jobs were real, politicians would not be involved. Their involvement alone collapses the ontological waveform.

V. The Psychological Evidence

Ask ten people to describe their job. You will receive twelve contradictory narratives and one cry for help. This violates identity, consistency, and the law of non-contradiction.

No real object generates this kind of cognitive static.

VI. What Actually Exists

Not jobs.

What exists are:

• tasks

• obligations

• routines

• surveillance structures

• low-grade despair

• Slack notifications

But none of these, individually or collectively, can be assembled into a "job" any more than loose gravel can be assembled into a condor.

VII. Conclusion

Jobs are a mass hallucination that emerged sometime between the agricultural revolution and the invention of the spreadsheet. They persist only because society agreed not to look directly at them.

We have now looked.

The object collapses.

Jobs aren’t real.
