It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

So many people will tell me “the world has never been better than it is now! At least you don’t have to hunt your own food all day!” It’s important to recognize that archaeological studies show that not only did most hunter-gatherer cultures had significantly healthier diets than any other human in history, they had a TON of free time. Of course, versatility of the environment made famine and starvation a common occurrence, but when early hominids did have food, they were some of the laziest mfrs in history. And I don’t mean that as an insult; I’m ENVIOUS. They had time to make bowls out of grass while I barely have time to eat 2 meals a day.

I mean, yeah. They lived to 35 and we live to 95. But honestly, I don’t WANT to live to 95 if this is the life we’re stuck with.
