Disclaimer: Controversial take, feel free to disagree, but take a moment to as well to think what I am saying. What is this trend of citing “meaningless” work I see recently? How is a work defined as “meaningless”? To me, if a work has any contribution, then it is highly meaningful. World is not that simple. For example, if someone was employed to simply sit at the door and count the number of people coming in and then subtract the number of people going out for 8h, it may be considered a bullsh!t job by many dimensions. But to me, it is very valuable as it just employed someone who is willing to do it and offers them a mean of paying their bills and survive. It is boring as f!ck? Yes, but the sole factor that it allowed someone to survive is meaning enough. We all do not have to be brainless servants of the tribe constantly rat racing to find meaning(i.e. pursuing whatever the govt or some industry considers lacking adequate qualified people to work for). As long as something that allows a person to have their basics met, it is immensely valuable. I hate this constant meaning finding in everything. Yes curing cancer for example brings immense meaning, but not every person on earth is capable or have the socio economical benefit of pursuing that education and mental sharp to carry out the R&D and by the definition of bullsh@t work, even curing the cancer is kind or nit much because death is inevitable anyways. So yes, we need to stop this constant pseudo rat race of finding meaning and get led into whatever the overlords tell the media to brainwash us into believeing as meaningful.
