I want to open a discussion here on the whys and hows of our work...I don't wanna say obsessed, but something close to that, that kind of society that were creeping further and further towards. It's especially ironic when you hear what they thought of the future of work 50-100 years ago. They said the only problem in the future, due to technological innovations, is what to do with our time! So much for that. Did you know in 1933 the US Senate tried to pass a 30 hour work week? It didn't happen. Even Nixon said we'd be moving towards a 4 day work week soon. Yeah, you can have that...if you work 10-12 hours a day. All for non-essential functions and non-essential things we buy with our money. The technology hasn't made our lives easier...just added new ways to make "them" force "us" to bust our butts...and now it's not even for SURVIVAL needs, it's just so we can buy shiny things. I can't believe people can be so motivated by that. I feel like i'm one of the few people out there that just do not want this whole rat race at all.
