I do not dream of labor.
Retirement.
life of leisure.Sure I’ll probably still find something useful to do. maybe even productive. But. It’ll be my choice and not a job.
The best job I could ever hope for would let me find arbitrary projects to work on, at whatever pace I’m comfortable with. Doing the same type of work day after day will get boring/tiring for me no matter what it is, no matter how complex or simple, how isolated or social.
I’ve basically started picking up random productive hobbies around my day job that take over my life until I finish them or the grind of life obligations makes me put it down to be forgotten.
I’m curious where we’ll be if we can move towards a future with a living wage UBI and people can choose to be productive in whatever way suits them. How would people fill their time?
Next you see someone walking around the office like this
Yeah, I started with my childhood dream job, lasted about 12 years, then moved into my adult dream job, that lasted 6. Now I’m a stay-at-home husband and both my wife and I are happier than ever.
She works, I handle the cleaning, cooking, and general adulting, we both have way more free time and when you factor in commuting costs, food delivery because we’re both too tired to cook, work lunches, etc. it’s not a huge financial difference.
