Oh shit I went to high school with this guy.

I want to live in a society that isn't predicated on the exploitation, torture, and murder of innocent, vulnerable individuals. Where people won't dog pile with excuses for their cruelty and violence, because they're actively trying to avoid being cruel and violent instead of actively looking for rationalizations.

All of that except 'be around other people'

I want a society with bored, old people.

I want people to be able to be healthy well into old age, to have saved enough to sustain themselves comfortably when they were young, and for the concerns of continued existence to be nonexistent.

I want to see the neighbor who sits on their porch watching the world go by, is able to lend a hand when needed, and shares their hard-earned wisdom freely. I want them to volunteer to help their community, to work for the enjoyment instead of necessity, and labor to secure the future against the perils they have lived through.

I want things made with time and love instead of bought from a shelf and made with suffering and exploitation. I want artisans to succeed and creators to make freely. I want heirlooms that are soaked in the lives of those who loved and were loved.

I want to believe the world can still be a good place.

The one follows from the other.

People who are better able to provide rare and valuable services will make more money, and have more choice of jobs so they can feel more like they are helping others and are working with people they like. Doing these things would likely make you less depressed.

This doesn't mean you need to become the cheif evil officer at evil corp. It just means you need to get good enough at whatever your niche is (or find a niche to get good at) so that lots of companies will want to hire you, or so you can work for yourself.

Also, if you have this mindset and don't already have a career path you want to follow, then the trades are probably the right path. You are highly insulated from corporate bullshit, your job probably won't be automated anytime soon, it is not a big leap to strike out on your own, and you are helping someone directly every time you show up to work.

It really do be like that som-... all of the time.

Well that's fine and dandy and all but but maybe stop for a second and check your skin privilege. You're walking around, covered in all that skin, and there's people out there that could be using it. For things. Skin things.

Funny thing is at one time I thought this was sorta a given. I remember when it was not finishing high school that would ruin your life.

I'm in the corpo ladder, cunts and idiots everywhere. I wish I was a corn farmer.

Life is so much better when you don't give a shit about work. It pays enough because I live in a country with a reasonable minimum wage. Well, outside of London its plenty anyway.

How dare you be non-capitalistic in a capitalist society!

My dream job is a faceless, nameless government bureaucrat.

I just want to have income to fund my lifestyle, not be depressed, help other people, and be around good humans.

Sounds like pretty lofty goals for someone with no plans to climb a corporate ladder 😅😓
