I think this is a great point. I don't think it detracts from the post in question. But it highlights the observation that many do not seem to have anything meaningful to do outside work. Anecdotally, I've heard of people coming out of retirement because they were bored stiff. I'm wondering whether or not we should develop a broad range of interest and possibly hobbies/vocations that we could transition to in "retirement". Alternatively not retire altogether but transition to a different role more in line with our capabilities as we age.
- js8 7y agoYes, that's what I was thinking. Just say, when you're 60, and you feel at the peak, now I am going to do something else as a hobby. But again, this goes against our tradition where we celebrate "real work" and not doing something for fun or as a hobby.
