Same old arguments in the article and in comments. I am therefore obligated to remind people that the boredom and existential angst of retirement or being homebound is just as likely to lead to depression and anxiety. I think the flaw in most depression/anxiety discussion is the attempt to find secular, empirical solutions to spiritual problems. The thoroughly incomplete solution in modern medicine is to tranquilize ourselves. Not good.
- predictabl3 3y agoAh, this again. Much like the people who insist return-to-office is good because they can socialize again, I can assure you that plenty of us are still capable of answering "what makes me happy" and that answer, virtually always, being "not work", much like plenty of us are capable of having social lives outside of work. Also, great, good point, so what. "Yes, I advocate for the soul-crushing status quo because my life would be nothing without work". Sounds like a you problem. Meanwhile, younger generations that, oh I don't know, have their own pursuits, don't really jive with that.

- predictabl3 3y agoI honestly don't really know why you take issue with that, but I'm pretty sure our world views are quite different, so I'm just gonna wish you well on your journey.
