I like to work. I enjoy building things; if we lived in a post-scarcity Star Trek world, I would still be in construction.
The problem I have is that we don’t live in that world, and most companies don’t want to pay me enough to live comfortably, so when I’m applying for jobs, I have to pass over most of them
I do too. However work is still not the goal, the excitement that I find from parts of it is the goal. And without compensation I would not work for the man but myself.
Stupid fucking “protestant work ethic” states that work will set you free or some shit. I’ve met the types and they are just sO haPpY to WoRK it’s nauseous.
And because the way projection works, if you believe in something, surely others do and if they don’t theyre degenerate.
Also why would anyone want to work? Work is a necessity, not a goal in itself.
