GP: yeah? find meaning in my shitty chores
P (me): I've found meaning in helping others with shitty chores
You: I don't see the connection, nobody says don't help others
Huh? I'm not sure where you are coming from.
GGGP: Well, for most people, if they don't have to have a job, their life becomes a sucking void of boredom. These are the only two options
GGP: Nope, plenty of jobs can be a sucking void of boredom for people. It's not like having to clean toilets in order not to starve is incredibly meaningful for the people that have to do it
GP: Well, I like helping neighbors for free sometimes. But I wouldn't want to do it every day for strangers
P (me): I don't see the connection. You literally said you enjoyed doing something for free, so you're not talking about jobs. You could still do it if you didn't need a job to survive, nor would not needing a job to survive force you to do it for fun for strangers.
In any case, it's clear we interpreted the previous messages in a very different manner. In particular, as I've said elsewhere, people seem to be confusing jobs with work. Not needing jobs is not the same as people having to stop working, usually quite the contrary - people would be free to work more on stuff that they enjoy.
Jobs, for the vast majority of people, is just a mean to make ends meet. There's nothing transcendental about it. Just a blunt "gotta pay the bills".
I may make 6 figures now, but I remember life when I didn't know if I was gonna be homeless next month. Perhaps that helped me keep my feet on the ground.
