I think this post contains an un-intentional poke at the concept of libertarian free will. That is, you must have an alternative in order to be free (and feel free, therefore faking satisfaction).
But what makes that funny is we all know that just because you have a job alternative, it doesn't make you free or happy. What truly makes you free and happy is to do what you really want to do. It has nothing to do with having an alternative.
