> Yet we spend our short existence doing things which have almost no meaning Well, for many of us that’s not a choice. In America, your healthcare is tied to your employer for example leaving you almost no choice but to remain employed. On top of that many of us racked up student loans that need to be paid off, so there is limited window of time for finding a rather meaningful job before you choose whatever comes your way and offers you the best salary even if it means you are going to be working on yet another social or crypto or delivery app. And not to say employers relentlessly pursuing an upper hand over employees and any choices they might have; just look at the whole reversing WFH fiasco. 80000 hours [1] have been pretty interesting for me to change my outlook however.
