It's possible to reject the notion that one has to justify one's existence in a capitalist society by getting The Right Degree and spending Forty Hours A Week Making Money For Someone Else.
In this case it seems like the author has only halfway rejected that notion. If you're gonna do it, you gotta do it all the way lol.
- ed25519FUUU 6y agoThe great thing about a capitalist society is that you get to decide for yourself what you want to do and how you want to live. And fortunately you don’t get to decide for other people.
- komali2 6y agoThat's not true - you HAVE to do what society has decided is productive. We're under a person mocking liberal arts degrees. This in spite of the fact that we throw away enough food to feed the world. Capitalism isn't inherently evil but it isn't by default the best methodology just because America claims it is. A great example of rampantly shitty capitalism is in the phillipines, for example, where we don't even have to mention wage slavery to point out the issues with capitalism.
