If the purpose of your life is to sell your limited time and health to be able to afford food and housing... My condolences. You don't need to self-destruct, you were already destructed.


Somebody's got to grow the food and build the housing.


I don't disagree. Some things need done.

Calling it a "purpose" takes this concept too far.

If my toilet is clogged and there's shit water all over the floor, I would do well to fix it. I wouldn't call it the purpose of my life, my raison d'etre, or whatever.


So much of "work" is unnecessary product cycles and reinventing the wheel: useless things for society.


Having only one producer of each product has never worked out well. Besides, how are you going to decide who gets to work and who gets the results for free?


>Having only one producer of each product has never worked out well.

That seems pretty reductive!
