inside all men there is something that's just waiting for someone to tell him "go". the economical environment you find yourself within is exploiting this fact of human nature and using it to keep you in suspended animation.

>I think there’s a ridiculous amount of pointless busywork involved with literally everything, where you spend years doing nothing, doing *absolutely nothing*, before you just get out and learn whatever trade shit you’re supposedly studying, by doing it, in apprenticeships.

this exact thing is what drives me fucking insane. i cant fucking stand busywork, i cant stand emailing people and phoning people and having meetings and going to classes, all absolute nonsense, beyond frustrating to me. You spend all your time doing nothing and you become nothing.

For me, the solution ended up being getting good at the thing i wanted to do before i even went to school, so the school was just to get the certificate to say i can do what im already doing anyway. Same with job - I'm punching hours as a formality so I can come home and do the things that are actually dignified/worthwhile. Thats the only way I can rationalize it without going completely insane

That solution only can work for a little while though. The next way to do it is to have a family so i can give my money to a baby
