Life is what you make of it as long as it's 2.5 kids and boring work or starting a small business that has a 90% chance of failure.

  > or starting a small business that has a 90% chance of failure. Better a challenge than living in corporate drudgery. It’s ultimately up to the individual. OP can always quit mainstream society and join a monastery. I know someone who did just that.

      > I love how the options you're presenting keep getting worse. Every option has its pro’s and con’s. A corporate job brings security, but drudgery. Starting your own business brings challenge, but a high chance of failure. Joining a monastery means you’re free of mainstream societies problems, but you’re also missing the benefits. If there was a perfect option then we’d all be pursuing it and there would be no reason to have this discussion.

        Slavery has security and good excercise benefits with the trade off of being owned. It's not perfect but it's an option!

      in today's world there are ways to make the drudgery a bit less soul-crushing. work from home, flexible working time or 80% arrangements, gig economy.. I would say its actually getting much better for the average drone.
