What absolute poison that some People come to this conclusion that, the ultimate freedom in an advanced 1st world economy, makes your life devoid of meaning and purpose when it actually gives you greater freedom to pursue the truly meaningful things in life like friends, family and your own self-fulfilment.
Yeah, there’s a reason it’s always the new rich you hear about having these troubles. They weren’t taught how to deal with this, and had spent a lot of time defining themselves off their work. They just aren’t prepared for picking up three hobbies and a few social groups.
And I think there’s selection bias here too. I’m never going to be new money. I’m too dedicated to my wife, community, and hobbies to dedicate my life to the pursuit of financial gain. And if I had that kind of money and time I’d be investing both into them. There’s always something you can help out with
Just because one financially doesn’t need to work doesn’t mean one is forbidden from doing so. Plenty of openings in retail with lots of opportunity for arguably meaningful human interaction.
Like literally anywhere? Except maybe twitter, that usually doesn’t end well…
Motherfucker never heard of a hobby

They could also, you know, spend time helping others, instead of being fucking social vampires.
