Hear me out, just as a hypothetical. - Person is making $0 now, but has to pay $500 for rent. - Person gets UBI, so now they're making an extra $500 from their government, but now has to pay $1000 for their rent.

"The tired sunsets and the tired people it takes a lifetime to die and no time at all" Bukowski

As Henry David Thoreau said - "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." The ultimate goal is freedom. Design your own life and live it on your own terms, life is to short for any other way. Being employed is a false sense of security, the only security is making your own luck and having multiple streams of income. Follow your curiosity, follow that spark down the rabbit hole and see what you find. Ultimately in life, the biggest risk is taking no risks at all.

Imagine a work week where you work Monday and Tuesday, then have a day off on Wednesday to relax, and then work Thursday and Friday, and then have the weekend off. That 1 day off in the middle of the week would do a lot in relieving stress and making the work week feel less like a 5 day slog. The 4 day work week could be configured in any manner of ways. And the productivity would either be the same or even better.

If you don't have the energy or the willingness of doing something then sit with that feeling and do nothing, maybe take a nap, but embrace the boredom and you will soon do your homework because you will be craving doing something, in that moment you have to make your homework and not listen to the excuses of your brain. Counting from five also helps, it creates a countdown to take action, or rapid blinking for 20 seconds. It is a skill that can be developed, similar to building a muscle, and encourages small doses of boredom to increase tolerance and restraint.

Well said. 100% agree

The critique of the 9-5 work structure presented in the context of Charles Bukowski's life and writings raises profound questions about the nature of work, societal structures, and the meaning of life itself. From a philosophical perspective, Bukowski's dissatisfaction with the 9-5 lifestyle can be seen as a rejection of societal norms and a quest for personal authenticity, a key theme in existentialist philosophy. His struggle reflects the tension between societal expectations and individual desires, a conflict that many of us grapple with in our own lives. The critique also prompts us to question the societal structures that dictate our lives. The 9-5 work schedule, deeply ingrained in our society, is revealed to be a relatively recent invention, a product of the Industrial Revolution. This realization invites us to question other aspects of our lives that we take for granted and to imagine alternative ways of living. Finally, the critique raises questions about the meaning of work and its role in our lives. Is work merely a means to an end, a way to earn a living? Or should it be a source of fulfillment and personal growth? And if our work is not fulfilling, what can we do to change that? These are complex questions with no easy answers, but they are crucial to consider as we navigate our own paths in life.

WFH was not a good fit for me. I felt as if my home, my sanctuary of rest and peace got invaded. I was disgusted with the need to attend Zoom/Google meetings at home and attend to work matters while sitting in my favourite chair and drinking coffee from my favourite mug. The sense of invasion and pollution was real, and my home became more and more like a workplace as the days went by. Finally, the WFH thing lifted and I was able to finally draw the red line again. Home is home; I do not work at home. I work at the workplace, and do not treat the workplace like home.

At least in my home country germany, the Generation of Workers who start their jobs now and are just out of school or university are perceived as lazy, not intrinsically motivated and overall bad workers. I don‘t think we are bad workers. I think we are the first generation for a long time, who questions this fundamentally wrong understanding of our time on earth, which we‘ve just grown accomodated to. We are the generation that broadly doesn‘t want to accept this. (Without wanting to deny that people were already criticising it, I still think this acceptance in the eyes of the general masses is at least somewhat new.)

And with their parents being the same products of those public schools failing systems are at the least threatened with punishment for parents who needed to allow their children to not go to school for their child's life. But I have never heard this brought up after a school shooting. Because he who has the money has the power. Unless you have the means to stand up to said power than you have a revolution.

By the time I get home. I usually have 2 hours left. By the time I get done with family asking me to do something. I get 1 hour. But the time I take a shower and just try to take a break It’s 9 or 10pm when I should be going to sleep. Instead I so badly want my free time that I’d rather sacrifice my sleep to just play some cod mw or just watch something till 12. I’m digging my self in a hole I can’t find a way out. If I quit my job that I enjoy doing, I worry I won’t find a job nearly as fun, or in the repair industry as I currently have, but will pay more and be closer to home.

We really should only be working 6 and paid for 8.. everything ran fine when it went from 12 to 8 and it would continue to work at 6...but here i am on my 3rd double shift.. haven't seen my 2 yr old daughter in 4 days and ill probably get to actually enjoy zero of those dollars .. the system is severely broken

Life is like life. As biological beings we adapt to the physical environment, well as intelligent humans we should adapt to the nature and rules of society, by finding ways to perceive things beneficially. Some things we cannot change, so instead we should focus on the aspect of that thing we can change which is our view of it. Something like directed perceptual adaptation. This malleable layer of our lives is so key, and a gift, but quite hidden to most.

Anybody else have an issue with the "tax"? You know, the way that employers give you a lunch but always insist that you stay 8-12 *and a half* hours instead of just 8-12, becuase they gave you a lunch out of the "generosity of their hearts" and now you gotta make it up. What about the 2 hours i spend getting prepared/commuting to the damn place?

So the sponsor is a platform that lets you “optimize” reading. Self help books were shown. Then right after that the video tells me society is bad because they want us to always optimize our life. Interesting choice of sponsors?

“ works what’s kept us happy” Raising Arizona

The comment “they become resentful when they feel they aren’t making what they should be at work” is not quite the truth. Truth: People become resentful when they realize they’ve worked their asses off for decades while being screwed over by a system that pays a fraction of the profit generated by the worker, to the worker, while giving the lion’s share to those who simply have the power to unjustly take the lion’s share. Which doesn’t justify murdering coworkers of course. But let’s tell the truth here at least…

You cant compare workers today with slaves, slaves literally didnt have a life and were seeing as objects, you could say the same today but it would actually just be irrationality and dramatization, like a caricature which doesnt correspond to the world at all.

This was never me and never will be.

Not everyone becomes ugly though. Some people age gracefully well into their 70s.

No alarms And no surprises please

Here in India its 7am to 8pm

I wish a normal workday was only 8 or even just 10 hours…

If you choose to become an entrepreneur I would stress that you will often be working evenings and weekends and long hours. The crucial difference to being a 9-5 slave is that those extra hours are making money for YOU! Why toil to make someone else rich???

I am trapped on 6-6 job.

Most of the stuff I liked, but because of my utter funny view towards 9-to-5 and the corporate bullshit, the idea that we need to go around it, rather than than just dump it, is something that I could never understand.

Never be a slave we can't go out sad.

If you let it life will be a blur untill you retire or die

It is a shame WE will NOT be Alive to see advanced A.I fix the money issue.

a work day should only be 4 hours, you should have the rest of the day to yourself, this way you don't get fed up of the job and it will be fun to do, you will look forward to it in fact. also there will be work for everyone since companies will need employees for 8 hours per day.

The future is here, and it is dystopian.
