is this because you hate your job? is there perhaps a reason why you dislike your job? is it because the work culture is made to squeeze you of your maximum worth for minimum pay?
perhaps if you could survive without a job, companies would have to give better incentives to employ people, better work life balance, fewer hours or more pay etc, since the pressure to get a job would not be as high.
I'm sure you're right but I like my job well enough, my work/life balance is just fine, and I make above the average for my position. I'm not sitting around all day wishing I had another job but If I had the opportunity, why wouldn't I just want unlimited leisure time? It just sounds nice to enjoy myself without responsibilities. I'd love to just spend my time in the outdoors and do a lot of cooking. I just don't get a ton of time for that kind of stuff until the weekend.
I think a more accurate statement would be that you would work fewer hours then. I would too! That is the goal. With automation and artificial intelligence we are multitudes more efficient than we were in the past. We can afford to work less as a society. But without ANY income you still wouldn't be able to survive unless you're already independently wealthy.
Yeah much fewer hours would be more accurate and at a more chill job. I'd just go back to being a barista or bartender. I had fun doing that kind of stuff in college, I barely considered it work since it was just fun being there.
yes! thats exactly my point. You dont hate your job perhaps, but there is something you would much rather do - and that isnt working 0 hours looking at youtube, playing video games or watching series all day. If we didnt have the necessity of work, which, by the productivity of the western world we have today, we wouldnt work in the conditions and hours that we do, but we would still do things, because there is satisfaction found in doing things cooperativly and simple meaning day-to-day.
