so what is it that makes antiworkers so successful? luck? market-fit awareness?
what special skill or trait do you need to become a successful antiworker?
I have this growing uneasiness about capitalism that its really about capital, not special skill, not some super insight, but mainly luck and/or capital. Not brains. Not muscles.
To me this realization throws the entire concept of working hard. It's easy to see that capitalism is not based on exploiting yourself or peddling your ass for wages. In fact the people who claim that hard work is road to success are the very people who benefit it.
It might be that this has become a widely accepted falsehood that was started by no good factory owners since the industrial age, that is being perpetuated to this day.
I honestly feel like I've been lied to all my life. Your startup or business failed, not because you were dumb or it was all your fault, a lot of it has to do with luck. Luck comes in many forms, sales, market timing, product fit etc.
I almost feel like you are almost entitled to spend some time without accomplishing much with antiwork but when you stick around luck will eventually come to you.
In the past month I've completely stopped trying so hard. I just tuned out and let business happen. it was the best month I've had so far.
