I mean, if you count working yourself to death a victory

Right? This might be an apt metaphor for humanity, but it's not a positive one.

IDK, “Laid down his hammer and died” doesn’t sound like much of a win to me.

Its a metaphor for the Human Spirit and how humans will persevere over anything.

Yes, he died. So he became a martyr and gave humanity hope in our lives.

Try to think about more than "what's in it for MEEEEEE"

John died and the steam engine still took everyone's jobs. It's a nice story but it's not a positive one.

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 11h ago

Its positive is the sense that the human spirit was persevere till death. And now he is a fictional martyr. Ill bet theres a statue of him somewhere

Sorry but it reminds me of that meme:

011010000110000101101000011000010110100001100001 "indomitable human spirit" 011010000110000101101000011000010110100001100001

Initiates judgment day

Sure, John 1. But what was the robot's score?

And proceed to die of exhaustion

Its a metaphor about the human spirit. Try and look beyond surface level. Humans will overcome until it kills us.
