Hmmm thanks for this. I’ve been thinking about this especially in the context of how important people in my work world want to make their work (ie people will die if we don’t abc) when really we are filling in holes for a government that doesn’t give a shit. Meh. I’m going to make my coffee and enjoy it before my commute (which i most certainly will not enjoy)
"But back to our pointless economy filled with pointless, bullshit jobs. Why does pointlessness here make us suffer? Why must we insist on attaching substantial, explainable meaning to how we make our money?"
This article made me both laugh and feel like crying. I have tried having an important job, ICU nurse, to make my money, it didnt work very well, and now I dont know if writing makes any sense either. Feels like all I can do is laugh about it and remove myseld further from society =)
