Also you never saw Chappelle show???? I mean roots...
I've watched retirement kill at least two of my family members. When you're not doing anything with your life, when you have no purpose, when no one expects you to show up somewhere, decline sets in. After a few months, it's like a gravitational pull.

Yeah when you are ****in old as **** and have worked all your life... Those people are already tapped the **** out

You think if you won the lotto and quit your job at 30 you'd be dead in a year?

Am I just not saying this right?

No. I don't think you'd be dead in a year. I'm saying a purpose is healthy. Mind you, if you're working at IHOP and you got UBI, you'd probably quit. But in time you'd make your way back to a career that's slightly more fulfilling.

Those things are called rebus puzzles. Not that I knew it before I googled that just now.

nah i agree a purpose is healthy but i don't feel like the majority of people find their purpose at work.. if anything maybe their purpose is to keep going to work so their kids get fed. But if the kids get fed anyway......

I think Big3 is confusing a middle class job with working.

A middle class job sounds like a boring menu option at a brothel

Yes, I'm so confused. What is work? How does it happen?

I don't know why you think anyone finds purpose in middle-class office jobs. Have you worked one? What was your experience?

I'll look for the article (I hope it's a thinkpiece so Frown will read it) but there was a post-AI job-type argument that said there are 5 or 6 C's that will constitute work that robots won't be used for. that's what I'm imagining people being slotted into. And that's generally where the fulfilment comes in. In helping other people.
