You're supposed to have a job so that you can make money to provide for your family. Jobs are the modern version of hunting and gathering. You hunted and gathered to provide for your family and your tribe. People didn't just live out in the woods by themselves, hunting and then eating entire deer alone. This simply isn't how people are motivated. Historically, the only people who did crazy shit like that were monks and ascetics who did it for God. Today, it is genuinely more difficult to get married and have children for all kinds of reasons (mostly because of technology). It's not just nazis/incels/etc who can't get girlfriends. Normalfags are also struggling to form meaningful relationships. This is why people are less motivated to work. What's the point? So you can buy the most powerful gaming PC? So you can buy a car? For what? Materialism and consumerism are totally hollow and more people are waking up to this fact. I expect to see a sharp rise in the suicide rate in the next 10-20 years as the generation of sexless zoomers come of age.

Because the more technology you have the more you will work. Actual hunter gatherers only "work" (hunting, picking berries, stone tool making, etc.) for about 2-4 hours each day. The rest is for lazying around and having sex.
If you want to work as little as possible try to get a job with as little technology amd minimize the usage of high tech products in your life in general.

People cannot largely "choose" to be a farmer or even hunter gatherer anymore you retard
Except the based Amish
Even if it weren't for the fact that the industrial system has made most people in the west dependant multiple simultaneous forms of addiction,
still you can't have 8 billion people farming like the based Amish, living in healthy communities and eating good food
It is becoming increasingly a privileged position ironically

People today thus are basically born to consume, they have been created by the system literally as part of an effort to increase gdp
Their entire lives will be lived to work in a city or suburb, lead a small, isolated existence compared to their ancestors, eat taco bell and slowly perish to fund the medical industrial complex, or if you will, to "eat hot chip and die"

In a very real way we have released an AI set to optimize one lone metric, and it's getting smarter and more effective at controlling humans

Hobbies are surrogate activities
They're fun if they're fun for you, I draw stuff on poster card, usually intricate designs that are simple and repetitive but take forever and look impressive when done

But let's not forget that these things are all standins for the actual things in life which are a short list of basically: having friends, family, a gf/wife, an extended family or clan, a real community, all of which you are able to have pride in, eating good and healthy food, working and having pride in your work aka having it directly benefit those around you, becoming who you are through discipline to see what the best you can be is, having religious experiences, and partying with everyone in said community at least every fortnight

The most stimulating thing you can interact with is a human, they literally are another supercomputer-automaton and you're specifically wired to be able to interact with them; that's why extroverts have to have a lot of friends, they require lots of stimulation that you just can't get from a videogame or book you can figure out 'the rules' of

Unironically industrial society
It's a hard pill to swallow but that's it
Now if you want to keep your industrial society anyway despite all the negatives that will only exponentially increase as technology improves (AI, genetic engineering, robotics, etc) and you're not ready to get rid of it, the Reactionary position is for you

That is, if you don't want to get rid of technology, you should at least try to slow it down from these dangerous and unsustainable levels so we can control it and punish anyone who tries to get the feedback loop started again
Dune is a good example of a vision for this
