Sorry for the wait!

  • Why work

To acquire resources. Certainly not to find happiness.

  • What's work for?

Work is to enable non-self sufficient living.

  • What does work mean?

Doing something other than a Ted Kaczynski approved lifestyle. And not taking welfare.

  • How does it relate to the individual, others, society?

It might or it might not. It might be relevant or it might not be. Hopefully, it is relevant in some way.

  • What defines good or worthwhile work?

Work that promotes life within a sustainable, meaningful, and natural means.

  • What does money have to do with it?

Just a way to keep score, and/or a ticket to buy some good land and opt out.

  • What do experience, growth, and fulfillment have to do with it?

It's fun for a while, but it always grows old. You can get something out of it, sure. But work is vastly overrated.

Big difference between being a blacksmith and spending all day at a desk, programming society into a less and less happy future.

The woods are calling.
