just to feed yourself and have a roof over the head, you need a full-time job. It's absurd. I don't even have ambitions or desires that would require money, I basically just want to exist and lay in bed with my laptop, but I still am forced to participate in the system of slavery.
No you don't. Society forces us to work a full time job just to survive it is LEGIT slavery. I don't think any of us really understand how much more we're being forced to work then what is actually required. We are being taken advantage of, take a look at how long hunters and gathers spent working then compare it to modern life heres a tid bit for ya:
Today the average work week is 47 hours, 9.4 hours a day. We're expected to then pay a large portion of it back (or else) in income tax, we also must pay (property tax) for the privilege of living in our own home, then if that all wasn't enough we're taxed with every purchase we make, and to add on all of that we have things like forced car insurance (or else) license plates fees, sticker fees, the list goes on and on. ALL this we MUST pay
(or else)
Let me put it all in comparison for you. Here's a little tid bit on how much we use to spend working (naturally), vs corporate slaves with a billion forced fees.....
Before Western influence changed daily life, Kung men, who live in the Kalahari, hunted from two to two and a half days a week, with an average workweek of fifteen hours. Women gathered for about the same period of time each week. In fact, one day’s work supplied a woman’s family with vegetables for the next three days. Throughout the year both men and women worked for a couple of days, then took a couple off to rest and play games, gossip, plan rituals, and visit. . . . It would appear that the workweek in the old days beats today’s banker’s hours by quite a bit.
This suggests that three hours a day is all that we must spend working for survival. One can imagine that in preindustrial times this pattern would make sense. Life was more whole back then, when “work” blended into family time, religious celebrations, and play. Then came the “labor-saving” Industrial Revolution and the compartmentalization of life into “work” and “nonwork”—with work taking an ever-bigger bite out of the average person’s day.
Hunters and gatherers spent on average 15 hours a week working without any FORCED expenses like tax. FIFTEEN HOURS vs FIFTY, plus all the forced fees...
Academics are different from simple menial tasks, for example I hate studying, the thought of studying again or doing a project or writing an essay makes me feel drained, like doing nothing, I could never go back to further any studies at this point in my life, like ever again, but a simple job like being a cashier (a job I did once) or something, depending on where you are working, is very relaxing, it keeps your mind off of your shitty life, and you get paid to do barely anything at all
When I left university I found myself being happier and less stressed out working, than when I had to do academic work
Also here's the big problem, you are just working for the sake of working, you don't have any end goal, I am working knowing that I am trying to wealthmaxx on the side, and one day never have to work, I am working just in the meantime, you don't have a goal like that, so as far as your brain is concerned, you are just working without end, you are just working for the sake of working, it doesn't lead to anything positive so of course it feels like a drag, being a cashier with that in mind would have been annoying for me too
Your biggest problem is you have no end goal, everyday I wake up I'm somewhat depressed but in the back of my head I have the goal I'm reaching towards, wealthmaxxing and retiring early to SEA and escortcelling my days away, without that goal I'd probably just go jump off a tall building or something lol
TBH I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE LIKE YOU COPE WITH DOING NOTHING
Work helps me keep my mind off of my current shitty life
Like mylifeistrash said:
I couldn't imagine lying in my bed all day playing games or watching shows, knowing that my life is passing me by and going nowhere, I wouldn't feel relaxed or comfortable enough to do these things
Some of us rather be totally free. You laugh at me but i don't want wealth, i want freedom, i want to be left alone from society, i want peace.
I have land, water barrels, solar panels, shelter, you name it; everything i need for survival. I don't need money anymore.
OR TAXES!!! OR BULLSHIT LAWS!!
See you have a choice, i don't, this society does not allow my kind to exist. I refuse to move from my house because of nonsense laws, and regulations.
My end goal is a life dedicated to spiritual pursuits, think of a monk/hermit/shaman hybrid.
There's more to life than gathering money though you will never see it, unless you take a break from your ego. Most likely you would have to force it gone through drugs but we know you aren't going to do that. You and I are like polar opposites mentally really.
Anyways before you grill me and prove me wrong yada, yada, like you do, i wanted to tell you i took your advice yesterday about not playing by the rules, i forgot how you worded it but it was something like: since we incels are fucked in life why should we play by the rules? anyways, i was left alone with a strangers bag of weed, my old self would of never done it, but thinking of what you said, considering my circumstances in life atm i did it. When he left the room i got out a bud and took that fucker, he won't notice he was drunk as fuck Why not? i have nothing atm, his life is way better than mine, so i did it...
Felt so empowering. Thank you. I cared long enough for nobody to care about me. I broke my own principles and it felt good.
