It's amazing how things lose their appeal when you realize everything's a scam

Tomorrow most of you will show up to meaningless jobs that you don't really want to go to

Meaningless because the world would do just fine even if you didn't do your job or the job itself didn't even exist

Not just your job but almost every job except the "essential" ones that keep the infrastructure going

COVID showed how non-essential, or even necessary, most jobs were when people didn't do them for months at a time

Likewise, for you, you don't really even want to show up tomorrow

That's why so many people get those depressing feelings on Sunday because they know another week of meaningless work that they don't want to do is about to start

But you have to show up because this world is built on a scam to extract work out of you to ironically make you pay into the very world you were born into

Think about it, they pay you to show up to extract labor out of you, and in return you pay what they gave you back in the form of rent, mortgage, insurance, utilities, groceries, car payments, and other expenses so you can survive and keep showing up to get labor extracted out of you

And maybe have enough left to save so when you become obsolete and they can't extract any more labor out of you ("retirement") you can survive into your old age on those savings, otherwise, you'll need to keep showing up for labor extraction until you perish

When you realize this, and all the other scams that are built into society, almost everything loses its appeal because they are based on said scams

I came to the realization after 25 years of fapping yesterday that the only reason I fapped was to escape the mundane existence of my own life. The whole thing was a fukking lie. It was never truly for pleasure, it was because I needed a hit of dopamine, like an addict, because the rest of my life was empty. A distraction.
