I’d like to hear more about this. What could be the meaningfulness of a life spent on videogames, porn and marijuana, if we were to change society’s perceptions about it?
If you're having a good time and not harming anyone, what's the problem?
Do you know for sure you know the conditions for the happiness of all humans ? Because if you don't, then having them sort it themselves might be the best solution.
But of course by saying "Receiving value for work makes you happy" you're already saying that somehow our system works great at this.
But isn't it our current system that's causing a massive mental health crisis already?
I meant more that as soon as you leave the workforce as a young man society will frame you as useless, which in turn leads to poor self image and depression, which then leads to a life of quick fix feel good activities like getting high and jerking off for days at a time.
If we decouple workplace productivity and social validity then people who leave the workforce can find other meaningful ventures in their lives without shame.
