Venting I can't believe there are only two options in life (unless you're rich)

[BlooBerryBanjo3000]

Those options are either work for most of your life (whether it's for someone else or not. Either way, you pretty much have to slave majority of your life away to a piece of paper), or kill yourself. Basically either accept the madness or don't and just end it.

Living organisms have always had to work one way or another to survive. However, we were smart enough (or stupid enough) to create a dystopia on top of it.
So now instead of running behind food to catch it we created a complex system of hell to just do the same thing but with mental illness.

living on welfare is a third option

Being homeless, and dropping out of society is another rough one.

Me too man, me too.

Agreed. It is truly 100% bullshit and torture

I think working can be fine. I did fulfilling work before and it feels amazing. Everybody needs to contribute in one way or another. The main issue I see is that sometimes screwing over others can be really beneficial for you, delivering negative value to the world can pay really well. You can mine coal for 1000 hours, or program some application in that time (which is competetive, not always easy, has it's own problems and might not work) and earn significantly more just because you can scale it and deliver value (positive or negative) The potential disparity is enourmous. If people who have enough just fucked off that would be great. But some people are incredinly greedy it's insane. I wish everybody could have something that is beneficial for society and is fullfulling. Instead we just fight each other, verbally and physically, over stupid or even false stuff.

The sad thing is that there is no opt-out. An option to say "I see how this works, I didn't sign up for this. Glad it works for you guys, bye!" would be nice to have. I'm tired.

I really believe the world could be much better. It's just so tedious to try. There is plenty of people who try to make the world better and get punished for trying, plenty of people benefit from our hopelessness.

No such option for me. The "welfare" that's available here is based on cost of living calculations that were more relevant in the 1980s. Corruption is a cast iron bitch
