To make money for your boss so he can live life

>The 1/3 we spend working is primarily to keep us financially stable so we can stay alive so we can continue working

>>14543857
you just described communism

Just don't work then. It's a voluntary contract after all.

>>14543878
True. Gotta make sure Mr. Goldberg has enough beard oil.

When you look at the alternative, dysfunctional ways of living, a stable work life does not look so bad. I cannot sustain such a thing, however, for mental health reasons.

wetware bootstrapping for capital

Why does it feel like you have so much more free time as a kid? You still go to school 5 days a week even if it's like an hour or two less than work. Sure you have less responsibilities i guess, but it still feels like you have way less free time than you did as a kid regardless of in reality it not being that much less.

>>14543862
OP's statement is still true for pre-Industrial societies and nomadic tribes.

>life for me ain't been no crystal stair
we all suffer faggot.

oh yeah nobody had to work much in the soviet union, they were famous for their long siestas and balmy vacations

Because adulthood involves gaining a number of responsibilities that you did not have as a kid. As a kid you don’t have to go to the auto shop to get your brakes repaired because your parents drove you. You probably didn’t have to cook, do the lion’s share of cleaning, maintain finances, etc. The idea of “gaining freedom” as an an adult is deceptive, you technically DO gain freedom but you lose an enormous amount of time that you can actually enjoy it because you gain more obligations. This is why the only way to be free is to be rich, because then you aren’t obligated to work and can pay other people to do things for you.

there is no point. thats why i'm taking the prisonpill.
>free food
>free bed to sleep in
>get to lift weights and read all day
>if they try to make you do shit, just fuck it up so bad they won't let you touch anything again
>basically a NEET

prisons are the new universities of the 21st century.

Time you spend working isn't wasted if you use it to advance your own life forward. Climb the corporate ladder, self-improve, learn a trade from the inside, gain financial independence before you're a 60 year old boomer fuck. I bet you don't do any of these things. I bet you come to work, half-ass it, and go home, fully content with doing it for the next 30 years. I bet you even consider yourself morally superior because of it, like the petty squabbles of money-obsessed corporate slaves are below your noble self. Well, you sure are a noble man, but Mr. Shekelbergstein needs you to come in on sunday.

You can maximize your sleep time experience by learning to recall your dreams (keep a journal) and learning to lucid dream.

>farming crops and milking cows a stones throw from your cottage where you wife just finished giving the kids their daily lessons and is now making you a nice glass of lemonade is the same as driving 20 miles to work in some cubicle where if you go idle for more than 20 seconds someone is immediately on your ass and they even just installed new inclined toilets so that shitting is so uncomfortable you will do it faster are the same thing

>>14544021
only people whose "suffering" is "oh no, an elderly family member died" or "oh no my gf broke up with me" ever say this shit.

>>14544072
ok cuck

>>14544087
>thinking these are the only two options
>thinking most of the sad fucks here have cubicle jobs instead of something worse

>>14544072
Yes slave your life away for half your life and maybe by 45 you can be financially independent enough.

>>14543857
If you're gonna work, you have to have a point in doing it like feeding your kids or buying a boat. If you don't want this or a nice house then just don't get a proper job, simple as. But don't be a commie fuck and complain that nothing comes for free, if you don't like it why don't you move into the jungle and live as humans were intended too.

>>14544182
1. white people were not made for jungles
2. in the US, you cannot legally camp on someone's massive 5000 acre lot, and you cannot legally camp for more than 7 days on state forest land, and in most parks you can't even backwoods camp at all legally.

but go ahead and lick those boots, wagie.

>>14544098
oh please do tell how you are the only exception in the human race. You are special, my brother, and never you shall have a loved one die before your very eyes and never shall you feel the immense pain of disease. Blessèd art thou.

>>14544242
what? i don't even have any loved ones to watch die, and i'm not even talking about myself here. you're the one who implied tht your suffering was the same as the suffering of a child in a rape dungeon.

lmfao. this fuckin loser goes into his dead end office job and breaks his fucking back for shekelstein all for the hope of earning a dollar an hour more, all the while mocking those in the cubicle next to him. hey i ain't bitching, the world needs utter simps like this, so that the rest of us can comfortably do nothing but collect a check. you are going somewhere my friend, just a bit more hard work then you'll have it yeah? just do a little more and they'll recognize you huh? keep eating your scraps you fucking peasant, you will never be anything more.

>>14544276
lmfao you demented fuck. This explains everything

>>14544330
you literally believe that your "suffering is anything like the suffering of a child afraid and alone getting raped every night until their captor finally gets bored of them and dissolves them in acid?

>>14544213
wow america seems miserable lol, where I live i could camp pretty much anywhere i want legally and without risking getting shot. Fortunately I don't have to since i get that free neet money and make some extra money on the side with alternative methods

>>14544375
america is hands down the worst nation that has ever existed on this godforsaken earth.

Retarded reply but it made me laugh. Here anon, have an updoot.

I've got a job that lets me listen to audiobooks. It's not that bad. Although I also go to community college full time, so I am pulling 12 hour days four days a week. If I couldn't listen to audiobooks I think I'd go crazy from the mental stagnation of it all. Almost all my old friends are either dead or in prison, and I haven't made new friends yet (nor do I really have time to). I'm in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend, but we want completely different things in life so I don't think it will work out. I live in an apartment/sharehouse with five immigrants,we are two to a room, and a thin layer of grime covers everything in the house.

Slowly but surely I think I'm going crazy. I'm fairly sure my soul died years ago, alongside my dreams, and most days I feel dead inside. Listening to Moby Dick has convinced me however that I am in the prime age (early-mid twenties) to go out and have manly adventures. Especially consider that I've got basically nothing going for me in life, it's not hard to get more rock bottom than this.

There's a surprising amount of opportunities out there. An old friend of mine is making 3k a week with a highschool diploma working in oil mining. Tree planting, working on boats, most seasonal work really, is high intensity adventure and pays decent. My plan is to get a camp job for the beginning of the summer, then doing wildland firefighting for the end of it, and wrapping up the season by mushroom hunting over the last year's burn sights, then taking the money I've made and buying a plane ticket to Ethiopia/North Africa/Eastern Europe

Maybe it's all a big fantasy, but it's the only thing getting me through the day.

>>14544213
>You're a bootlicker lol
>also the government should have the authority to force private property owners to let people camp on their land
ok retard

>>14544430
why does anyone need to own 1000 acres of land?

Plato was right all along. Our desires unchecked led to more complex societies. And we all are paying the toll.

>>14544443
They bought the land. It's theirs. If they don't violate any laws, they can do whatever the hell they want there. They could have an orgy with monkeys there for all I care (though I am sure it's illegal to do so ).

>>14544457
>They could have an orgy with monkeys there for all I care
so you admit to being a valueless degenerate.

>>14544443
please refute my actual point about the staggering inconsistency of your apparent beliefs instead of complaining that some people are more successful than you

>>14544471
ad-hominem, scared of bringing up a real point bro? Not the same anon as before

Holy strawman nigger. I'd rather not talk to a sub 85 IQ commie, but then again, we are on /lit/.

Historically has this not always been the way? Don't compare your life to fantasy scenarios (automated post-scarcity communism etc).

Student debt, kids, car, house = a guaranteed lifetime of servitude. Why do people do this to themselves? Is it really just one big cope to make getting up for work and life in general, meaningful?

>>14543857
I don't work so I enjoy 2/3 of my life and the other third doesn't count because I'm not conscious for it

>the government shouldn't have the authority to force private property owners to let people camp on their land
>but the government actually having the authority to force people who camp on "private" land out is perfectly okay
you aren't against governmental authority, you're against not being an utter cuck
