What a pessimistic take and I’d really disagree with it. Many people actually want to work on challenging problems and this “get away” mentality is mostly a symptom of people being tired out by bad systems. There are definitely people who want to hang out and do nothing but I’d say that a minority overall. People love creating stuff, period.
Yes, that was my way of thinking too some many years ago.
And all my enthusiasm and doing stuff resulted in… What I have now. A world where I have little time for myself, where I have to grind money in a job type I’m too experienced in to switch away from, in a world that keeps getting more dystopian every year.
And I watch with horror how the next generation is falling for fascist populist rethoric politics and voting for them because they feel the same way as me but lack the life experience to realize that they are voting for the wolf in sheep clothing.
Without money I can’t change anything.
I hate money and I hate that I have to want a lot of it.
Keep hold of your idealism. Perhaps it will serve you better than it has me.
