“Imagine if we worked less. Imagine if we walked around our communities, talked to our neighbors, spent time in nature, played. Imagine if we could read, write, fall in love, without that nagging feeling of ‘needing to do something’; imagine if your life was your own.”
But this is the beautiful thing about the world this person is imagining: there is no such thing as wasting time once the compulsion to work to earn is removed. Spending your whole life doing fun things like reading, gaming, learning, travelling etc. sounds like a life very well spent to me. Finding hobby after hobby to throw yourself into also sounds like a fantastic way to spend your time here on earth.
There’s a reason why we invented the concept of ‘retirement’.
Not necessary. For example, if you sink a week on a game, did you do it because it was enjoyable, because you're OCDing about completing everything, because it's a grindy game and you're in full sunken costs fallacy, or because it's gambling disguised as a game and it's pushing your buttons?
Only one of those outcomes will leave you satisfied.
I think you need to evaluate why you play video games. Because I didn’t experience the same.
I play to enjoy my time. I spent last four days playing battle bits running around playing medic. I tried to see if I could outrun the snipers by playing sonic music.
Before that I spent god of war on easy to enjoy story. Then the quit and watch on YouTube in case you was hidden cutscenes for completing more of the game.
I am on my way home to enjoy oxenfree or nightshift because of storytelling.
I have only ever played a game because I was enjoying it, the moment I stop enjoying a game is when I quit. You seem to be arguing against the concept of enjoying your life outside of work
It's called mental illness. It sounds to me like he's depressed and doesn't know it yet.
one that’s induced by modern society – corporations want you to be obsessive about what you do, the things you buy – and their bought politicians will keep framing mental health as a moral issue rather than a societal or medical issue to ensure the stigma around seeking mental health care remains the status quo
