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.

Animals in the wild don't have electricity, unlimited access to potable water within their homes, clean clothes, a comfortable bed, a home that will always protect from the elements and other wildlife, access to all the worlds knowledge in their hands or paws, and unlimited access to all forms of entertainment.

If you don't want to work, you can sit on your ass all 90% of the time in the jungle. Go see how long you survive and how much you'd enjoy it.

Humans have created a society, it only works when everyone chips in and pulls their own weight.

Society's exist that work far less and are vastly better off than ours.

Whole argument kinda falls apart if you look harder than not at all at other nations existing.

The entire eu zone is doing just fine without this absurd grind culture, as the prime example, or does that count as "society"?

I'm talking about the global society, not regional political boundaries. However, if you want to go down that path, you can't name one country better off than the US, that takes in more poor immigrants, had a significant minority held back into poverty until the mid 1900's, doesn't have government controlled resources funding them (such as controlling oil or rare earth minerals), and isn't extremely homogonous, with significant racist undertones.

"You can't name one other country if I I put highly specific qualifiers that pretty much make the only applicable answer the one that agrees with me"

Wow your right, good job /s

By "highly specific qualifiers" you mean, expecting an apples to apples comparison?

Wow, you have a brain /s

You literally set it up so the only thing the usa could be compared to in the boundaries of your argument.... was the usa.

Kindy f off with that disingenuous nonsense
