Did you read more than wikipedia? You get nothing out of that, read the encyclopedia article.

I’m really not to interested on vague references to bundles of baseless claims that are either truisms or unfalsifiable. Is MacIntyre anything more than this?

As for the “pagan idea of Virtue”, please point out the non-pagan ethical system.

Love. [1,2]

I have no idea why you stopped at “high cost of labor”. Do you not think that little “problem” won’t be solved too?

Capital compounds faster than labor.

I’ve previously discussed the implications of this this with respect to professionalism. [1]

We are currently refactoring ourselves out of existence.

Incorrect.

Though we are rendering certain tasks, jobs, and careers obsolete, in order to better exploit the increasingly precious supply of labor.

Have you read any Alasdair MacIntyre?

It appears his hobby is comining Catholicism, Marxism, and the pagan idea of Virtue. [2] His idea of collapsing virtue appears analogous to the problem of dumbing professionalism down. [3]
