how does your brain get to the point where you read shit like this and think "yes this is true"
This was posted about and talked about on here over a year ago and as far as I could tell it is a real thing for weirdos. I remember one person who like financially didn't have to work but didn't have a job or whatever so they'd rent one of these places to go play pretend for the social perception of "not being useless"
got to pick the brain of a member of the leisure class who decided to play-work instead of getting into politics or full time partying
Is it really that odd? We already have people playing sim games This is basically more realistic VR job sim game.
Full time partying lands you in rehab.
It's pretty simple, some people want to feel like they're being useful.
It is this time. The place that started it is literally called "pretend work company."
I mean, if anything, this is just proof the Cultural Revolution didn't go far enough. People are only doing this because their needs are met but they feel cultural pressure to work in typical "business" roles.
It literally is. High youth unemployment + strong cultural bias against same == this.
