This article is also operating under the assumption that all "work" is equally fulfilling on every level of Maslow's heirarchy. But much of what we work on nowadays has very little attachment to the actual physical sphere of connections, people, objects, community, etc that we interact with daily. [1] This makes a large portion of modern work simply not worth doing, because of how little it fulfills our needs. It goes without saying that if you're able to work as a caretaker or nurse or volunteer with people in need (and also magically maintain the life side of the balance) that you will be very fulfilled by your work. But I don't buy that this is true for very many jobs in tech. [1] https://davidgraeber.org/articles/ https://davidgraeber.org/articles/
