What job should I get if this guy has convinced me material pursuit causes suffering and discontent

He has also convinced me of the same thing. What I've planned to do is that I'm pursuing a high paying career for a few years (less than 5), and then, when I've saved enough money that covers my absolute basic necessities, I will resign and devote myself to the arts. A few years of hardship I think is a good enough price to pay for a lifetime of contentment.

Very limited and hard to get position that usually is alternated either shiftly as is the norm now or every few months, meaning you need to use the money you've accumulated to stay during the downtime. Still need to worry about bills and eating and potentially losing everything.

This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1583677771/

"Few authors are able to write cogently in both the scientific and the economic spheres. Even fewer possess the intellectual scope needed to address science and economics at a macro as well as a micro level. But Paul Cockshott, using the dual lenses of Marxist economics and technological advance, has managed to pull off a stunningly acute critical perspective of human history, from pre-agricultural societies to the present. In How the World Works, Cockshott connects scientific, economic, and societal strands to produce a sweeping and detailed work of historical analysis. This book will astound readers of all backgrounds and ages; it will also will engage scholars of history, science, and economics for years to come."

Looks like it comes out tomorrow (Tues).

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 20 01:08:50 2020 No.14570890 >>14570840 Yes but it's not exactly Schopenhauer. Only Buddhist monks, artists, and Schopenhauerian philosophers (if they still exist) are really having the "Schopenhauer existence."
