I WFH, so I technically do both simultaneously.
I'm generating shareholder value! Its all I live for
Woah brother! Save some turns on the hamster wheel for the rest of us!
Oh I thought we were talking about eating adderall and playing Monster Hunter
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.
I'm getting these references because Im caffinated!
I use depressants and stimulants. It helps the day go by a little faster.
I hope you wait until after work to take the depressants. IDK about you, but recreational depressants are against policy to use while working.
You guys are getting stimulants?
I wish the stimulants would stimulate happiness and not just urine production
My stimulation has me evacuating my bowels
anxiety is stimulating.
I'm getting stimulated right now!
Yup. We even have automated dispensers for them.
If you work is not at least giving you coffee you need to start mailing the CEO pictures of Luigi. Amphetamines and coke would be a nice perk too while we're at it.
This is going to sound out of left field, and I do understand that, but I’m legitimately ready to go learn how to forage year round, build mobile tents out of natural materials, and live in a small band of 10-30 like evolution intended. Let’s pool our resources to buy land back from the idiots who are enslaving us and fuck off into the forest to live a genuinely free existence.
Civilization was a mistake.
Maybe joining a commune would be easier and achieve what you're looking for. I found this link: https://www.ic.org/directory/communes/
Communes always sound great, but every single one I've ever heard of eventually collapses to some drama so dumb it makes PTA meetings seem sane
Communes (and my run-away-to-the-forest idea above) will never work without the proper cultural education and social rules to prevent that kind of behavior. To relearn how to build a socially sustainable culture, we should look to cultures that have been around for thousands of years and have done it successfully. It would be a really hard transition because it requires a complete restructuring of how we view other people and how we relate to them. Which, honestly, I think we should be doing anyway, commune or not.
I absolutely agree with you and I'd love to be able to pack up and move to a commune tomorrow. Problem is that some people just seem to thrive on power and drama.
If it wasn't so incredibly unethical, I'd love to see what'd happen if some children were raised in a commune with minimal interaction from outside adults. I wonder how their culture and language would develop and to see whether or not they form a society similar to our society or if they manage to make a sustainable commune.
We can just look to indigenous cultures for this. They’ve been doing it for tens of thousands of years before being colonized. Like, indigenous Australian cultures sustained themselves for 60k-100k years without ruining their environment while also living in commune-type societies. Native North/South Americans did it too. We can hand off our kids to untouched/minimally touched cultures to learn how to relate to the environment and each other. There will always be human conflict. It’s how we handle that conflict that we need to learn again, and how to appropriately handle conflict needs to be retaught by those who know how to do it.
Very true, though I'm more interested in how a completely new culture would develop. There's absolutely no way I can think of that would allow the children to be completely unaffected by existing adults since they can't exactly feed themselves, but I really wonder what would happen.
It’s an interesting thought experiment!
I can imagine that happening. A substantial share of marriages end in divorce, where only 2 adult individuals need to agree on how things should be run. I can't imagine adding additional people would make things less likely to fall apart
Just like a successful marriage, it would require effort and commitment from everyone involved
Until they come killing pillaging and enslaving you, then little by little the bands group together making bigger and bigger groups with the worst people leading them until we end up back where we are now
Wish i could afford a better life
Yikes man... This is my daily thought
As far as I know work is voluntary
how are you gonna live if you can't buy food?
I can buy food, but I'm still not sure one could call this "living."
What I'm trying to say is: nobody is forcing you to do a job that you hate. Nobody except the internalized worldview that you are only human if you can proof a professional career.
