See, idk if I could do that the rest of my life. I'm dreading retirement, even though it's a long way off, as I have no idea how I'll handle it...
I could do maybe a month of nothing then I start getting antsy and depressed. Working gives structure to my life, and while I really hate getting up and going to it, it's better for me than the alternative...even when I don't have to worry about money.

Yea, but would you pretend to be a business genius while in actuality being the world's biggest spoiled dork? Like Tommy Boy but without the charisma and infinitely more needy for a positive reception. I think, even as delusional as I am, you and I would recognize we'd likely need a different role.

Musky boy gives us the Cyber Truck, and a dancing jackass in a leotard and helmet for a robot...

No, but I'm neither rich nor a narcissistic prick, just a regular asshole.
Always thought Musk was a piece of shit, glad my initial thought is being proven correct.

I feel you. On the other hand, you might find something different to pass/spend your time with. Maybe you return to your job. Maybe you start a new company, maybe you start to do arts and crafts, or...

That’s a pretty sad revelation. We’ve been so beaten down that we can’t imagine being happy pursuing whatever we’d like to do day after day without “creating value.”

And we only get this one go at life. One life to live and we’ve been so sapped of the entire concept of “living” that work is our life. How sad that is.

It just seems crazy. I don’t know, it just feels so wrong to hear people think this way.

Ehhhh. I'm a Stone Mason working in conservation, my job is really satisfying and rewarding. I enjoy my work generally, and passing on the skills to the next generation is an extra bonus feel good. I wish I was able to structure my own life enough to not want to go to work if I was independently wealthy, but currently struggling with possibly adhd or autism spectrum stuff, and while I would love to be able to work on stuff for myself I need external structure....

Yes, I know that last sentence was a bit fucky, I'm in bed and lazy, not changing it.

Get some hobbies.

Like building things? Have a workshop that you go to to keep routine and build things for fun.

Yeah, I'm a Stone Mason. Guess I could make faerie castles out of pebbles....
