    Uh huh, so your going to grow and hunt your own nutrients then I guess? Build your own shelter?

    I guess you could do all that if you had the money to buy the required land for it, but then again if you had that kind of money you didn’t need a job in the first place.

      Do you really not see the difference between food/shelter, things that you WILL die without, and employment?

      The only reason you need the latter for the former (and I mean, no you don’t but whatever) is because of how society is set up.

      Your body doesn’t shut down if you don’t clock in to your job for X days.

        I mean technically you are correct, but more in the “it’s not the fall that kills me, but the landing” kind of way.

        My body doesn’t shut down because I don’t clock in, it shuts down because I don’t have any food due to not clocking in.

        And yes, the only reason I need to work is because how our society’s are set up. But guess what? I’m living in that society bottomtext so I can’t exactly get away from it. Unless I have loads of, you guessed it, money.

        Not to mention that in a society based on trading goods for goods we still need to work to actually get our hands on those goods.

        We could go farther back of course reaching the hunter&gatherer time period, but I somehow doubt you want to go that far.

          Why do we have to go backwards? We’re the most technologically advanced that we’ve ever been.

          Your brain has just been rotted by capitalism.

            Hah. you can be as “technologically advanced” as can be, if your society still lags behind significantly it doesn’t matter.

            It’s not that my brain has been rotted by capitalism, it’s that I absolutely have no faith that we will ever reach beyond tribe mentality.

        Well it kind of does because if I don’t have a job then I don’t get money, And I need that to buy things like food and shelter. And yes that’s because of the way society is set up but since it’s the way every single society on Earth is set up, I think we have a problem.

        There has never been a culture on Earth at any point in history that didn’t have some version of money.

          I know what you were saying, but you’ve missed the point.

          There has never been a culture on Earth at any point in history that didn’t have some version of money.

          What? Of course there has. Money isn’t something that has just existed forever. It’s an entirely man-made concept.
