It's crazy how people seem fundamentally incapable of looking at the big picture and ask themselves things like, "what even is the purpose of society? Is this the best society humanity is able to come up with? What if I am not ready to accept society as it is presented to me, what are my alternatives, do I even have any? What are my obligations towards a society that marginalizes me and treats me like a second or third tier human, without any hope of ever improving my lot?"

Ask people if they would rather be free and get everything they want without having to work for it. The answers you'll get will boggle your mind.

We've been permeated by the idea that "you have to be financially productive to be a decent human" for so long, even people against excessive/useless work still sometimes miss the point of this crazy race toward making more benefit regardless of anything else.

Sometimes, reaching the "it works" point is enough, but higher ups never stops there. It always have to be "better/more".

I'm surprised by the number of workaholics that exist, like why do you want to work so much? Go explore the world, learn things, make things, but people want to work instead?
