Yeh; am done with “professional careers”.
De-urbanizing and moving to a more rural location. Will get a job at a grocery store to avoid all the future dead people in office jobs whose toxic positivity psychosis is leading them to believe they’re leaving behind the most important outputs for the future.
Such jobs are not meaningful. They’re just a form of social organization, like religion before us.
Signal attenuation due to generational churn comes with loss of experience and an obligation on the future to re-discover and encode that knowledge. We only propagate the species, social norms are not fractal and immutable; nothing we’re doing is preserved. We’re just jumping through elites hoops for bigger paychecks.
Been there, done that. It gets just as banal and repetitive as everything else. It’s drug addiction, chasing dopamine highs. Physics will end the species and all this effort will be for naught.
Given that there’s little point to being a court jester and dancing for the high court.

- sambazi 3y agotbf the dynamic range here is pretty big. there are usually old/unmaintained houses on the edge of nowhere to buy for less than a years rent of a flat in downtown.
- CapstanRoller 3y agoIn what country? Here in Washington State USA any place that's remotely habitable is either very expensive or gets snatched up immediately.
- sambazi 3y agoin the countryside. an hours drive away from the "big city" with 100k population should be good. you probably have to adjust your sense of "habitable" as well and put in some work. not saying it's easy or nice
