Being a wageslave really sucks. Most days I just ldar, but occasionally I'll be working on personal projects and hobbies and be really in the zone, then I notice the time and I have to stop what I'm doing and go waste 9 - 10 hours getting ready for and going to work. By the time I get back home my momentum is entirely dead. I'm usually so exhausted I have no energy to do anything but sleep.
I only realized recently just how much my productivity suffered from wage slavery. I was working on some old projects, and wondered why it'd been so long (over a year) since I'd done any work on them. Then I looked at the dates on my files and notes, and realized that the drop off in productivity directly aligned with the dates I stopped being NEET. Looking back, I had an entire year where I was constantly studying, working on projects, learning new skills, and then a massive hole starting not even 10 days after my first day of work. Its depressing to think how much potential is just wasted away to wage slavery.
I never got why people get so angry about the prospect of automation. Every job I've ever had has been menial labor that could easily be replaced by a robot or a computer program. I hope I live to see a day when that becomes a reality, and people have all the free time they want and can receive Universal Basic Income. I've met many people say they hate being NEET, that they start going crazy from not having a job.
For me I never understood that. I was far happier as a NEET. I spent my days peacefully. I woke up when I felt like, I would go for long walks in the days and nights, I took naps in the afternoon.
I spent a lot of days doing absolutely nothing, but even those days were deeply satisfying. If I wanted to, I could spend all day playing video games. Other days I'd practice piano or guitar, or read literature, or study maths, or make cool computer programs. My social life was also healthier, I even started a small band and we would practice and play music together. I got far more exercise as well. Since I had time to rest, I actually had the energy to cook most days, trying out new recipes and improving my culinary skills. My soul has never been more at ease.
Meanwhile as a wageslave, despite having better finances, my lifestyle has suffered immensely.Most of the time I'm stressed out. My sleep schedule is garbage. I eat unhealthy fast food for nearly every single meal. I no longer exercise. I am far too exhausted to embark on intellectual or creative endeavors most days. It's just an endless loop of work, get home, scrolling through internet and jerking off before passing out and doing it all over again the next day. On my days off I'm still too mentally drained to do anything most of the time.
