There would be social standing involved. It would be a major epiphany for a lot of people once they realise that acquiring a mate or impressing their family isn't solely achieved by earning money. There are so many people who don' actually do anything apart from create wealth.


If everything is available via, say, automation, then suddenly just amassing resources isn't actually impressive. It would significantly broaden the notion of value beyond mere money. Social worth wouldn't identical to one's wealth anymore, to have social worth you are going to have actually do something good for the world.

Creating art, being a full-time student and just pursuing knowledge and all sorts of different skill sets, teaching and lecturing around the world, solving world problems etc. If it were me, I'd travel and teach people and share the knowledge I acquire with others. That would be a very fulfilling life.
Back off, Warchild.

It would be a freak show of murder and debauchery.
On one hand I believe working 40+ hours a week is a drain on life force and takes away from our health and joy of life and I wish there was a better option for decent people who would live right and make the most of it and take care of themselves and others but realistically this is less than 10% of the population.
90% of our population are complete pos degenerates who don’t deserve free time and if they have too much of it they will just harm themselves and others.

I rarely talk about work outside of work. Some people, its all they have. Work to live, not live to work.

Your average modern career is useless and has no real contribution to society, other than into feeding the Jew ran financial institutions. I say erase it all, kill the banking industry and bring back bartering. If it's not revolved around agriculture and healthcare, it's not real. Kick the Jews from America and become independent nation where the people have the power and the government are just servants to us. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

This is the very first definition I pulled from Google:

“activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.”

I do believe that “work”, in the sense of the word as defined above, is a key component of overall human happiness and vitality. Work is good for the soul. But work in this sense can mean all sorts of fukin’ things, e.g. practicing an instrument, painting a picture, building a rocking chair, writing a story, etc.

However, if by work we actually mean a “career” or “jobs”, or the state of the world-of-work that currently exists in the West, then I think there’s at least something of augment to be made that we are long overdue major improvements/changes.

The main problem, as I see it, is that if you take away “traditional” work from people, what are they left with? Close to fukin’ nothing. Our whole society / existence is structured around having a job and going to work. You remove that and it leaves a MASSIVE fukin’ void.

So, we can’t just rip out our very way of existence and expect everything to be hunky dory. I think we need some kind of phased progression where the role of traditional work is gradually replaced by other outlets for work, hopefully things of a more creative and/or personal flavour.

This is the unfortunate reality. If your passions cannot be monetized, your life is going to feel empty wagecucking. Society doesn’t provide stimulating careers for all or even most men.

Humans do better when they have a cause. Something to struggle against.

For most of human history with a few exceptions, survival has been the struggle. Food, shelter, and fukking. Today even lazy people just go along for the ride. Will you get ahead? no…will you die? also no.

Now we have replaced that real physical struggle for survival with made up bullchit and called it "work". Remove that work, and those without other external drivers will do poorly. I think that how we are wired.

Hobbies and other things that drive you give people reason to push and excel, and as a bonus they are enjoyable and enriching. And I bet a huge majority of the western world has nothing.

Why do they have to be monetized? if your basic needs are met, does doing that passion for the intrinsic value of doing it not count?

I'd say that sometimes a good way to start hating your passion is to monetize it and make it your job.

The fur market is low right now, in terms of money…people ask who I still do it.

Well, I fish and release most fish, don't get paid for it, and still fish.

A raison d'être.

Your third paragraph touches upon my main issue with the whole situation. Society/culture has dealt with the problem in the worst way possible, which is to create fake solutions in the form of working more than is necessary, creation of bullchit jobs, creation of pointless busy work, etc.

There are people out there who consider this the ideal future. Everything is automated, AI runs the world with minimal effort by humans, and humans spend their time and allotted resources on leisure.

We're just not ready as a society intellectually. I mean, a lot of us are a lot further along than most, and even then, I don't think I'd do so well without a job.

It'd have to be ingrained from you from the start of your life; that you don't have to work to find happiness or purpose. I don't think it's something you can just turn on and tell people go figure out your purpose.

Sometimes I wonder where we could be as a society if that were the case, sitting around tripping on mushrooms, figuring out the true meaning of life and advancing at a rapid pace, while enjoying the greater things in life. That's what ancient cultures did until meteors ended a lot of 'em.

Corporations have replaced tribes. People want to feel like they are apart of something larger, and work does that on some level.

If you don't work then you need something positive to replace it, or people would just start forming gangs instead

Gangs= power. An interesting point.


When all other things are equal, people will try find a way to mog others.

Only thing left is power, and if its not politics, its gangs

Its not a coincidence that the areas with the largest unemployment/poverty have the most gangs, as someone already pointed out

Being a part of something is a human need, for better or worse

It’s odd how we think. It’s not about having enough to fulfill your wants and needs in a bubble. It’s about having more than others. That’s it. The end goal, the marker of success.

Exclusive things, rare things, expensive things - they are assigned value by us by that fundamental human desire. Have what others cannot have. If there is an ultimate commodity, it is people. It is control.
