Do you think UBI is the solution besides collapse?
I’ve always hated work, no matter what job. I’m not convinced into loving my slavery. I want freedom
But what does freedom mean for you? A life of pure comfort? Or does it mean working for yourself? If the latter, it is fully achievable.
Live in a cage then
@@gabrielkessler6363 for me freedom means autonomy. To chose, how, when, why and where I work. I want time and location freedom also
@@gabrielkessler6363 for me I don't pursue comfort but i wanna do something that I love
100%! I dream of a state of society where this is the case.
I saw a group of children today. But I didn’t see them as kids. I saw them as future workers and laborers, toiling for the wealthy and powerful. To bring a life into this world, knowing what’s in store for them, for every one of us, doesn’t make sense.
Yep
I didn't see the video yet but isn't that every generation? Our parents' generation are like this too. Everyone is born to be future workers and laborers, toiling for the wealthy and powerful. The ONLY way out is automation and demand for UBI. This is the only way
@@Dave_of_Mordor Oh, automation is coming. UBI-no, never. Countless people all over the world will be “liberated” from work and making a living.
@@Dave_of_Mordor I don't think UBI is a viable answer.
There are already tons of jobs that are difficult to fill, consistent issues with Government Aid being abused (In the US, anyway), and I don't think printing money (for everyone) is the answer.
UBI just brings the baseline up, right? Hear me out, just as a hypothetical.
- Person is making $0 now, but has to pay $500 for rent.
- Person gets UBI, so now they're making an extra $500 from their government, but now has to pay $1000 for their rent.
It strikes me as something that would be used against us more than it would help us.
But if they were to grow into thugs and robbers you’d stereotype them, no ?
I don't hate humans, i just feel better when they're not around.
-Charles Bukowski
What does this quote have to do with the video?
What about his family and friends, does he hate the love, support, compassion, and etc.
@@Dave_of_MordorThe quote is just an anti human and nihilism statement
@@arandomguy83yearsago46 you obviously don't know Bukowskis life. He was beat by his dad so bad when he was young, so there goes the family out the window. Friends? He never had any because he was pretty ugly looking so no women or guys would want to interact with him unless he had something to offer.
Yeah we call that a 'true' statement.
I'll do him one better- I hate humans AND I feel better when they're not around.
"The tired sunsets and the tired people it takes a lifetime to die and no time at all"
Bukowski
This is why I like work from home. It’s not perfect, but it’s way better than when I had to be in office
Amen to that
But how is it better than 9-5?

What's your job may I ask.?
As Henry David Thoreau said - "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
The ultimate goal is freedom. Design your own life and live it on your own terms, life is to short for any other way.
Being employed is a false sense of security, the only security is making your own luck and having multiple streams of income.
Follow your curiosity, follow that spark down the rabbit hole and see what you find.
Ultimately in life, the biggest risk is taking no risks at all.
You will be busting your ass to get those so called "multiple streams of income".
I work at the post office and used to work as a CCA in Detroit. The worst part for me was getting repeatedly sent out after you think your day is done and watching it get dark. It makes you move slower cuz you don't want to come back to early and get a ton more work which just makes the workload worse for everyone.
In the winter season I leave for work in the dark and return home in the dark. Barely see daylight because the part of the building where I work doesn't have windows.

You spend at least n hour, or two getting ready for, and driving to work. Then at least 2 hours driving home and cooking dinner. Work lasts 9 hours including lunch.

I feel you bruh
Exactly. Something like a 4 day work week would be so beneficial. Imagine a work week where you work Monday and Tuesday, then have a day off on Wednesday to relax, and then work Thursday and Friday, and then have the weekend off. That 1 day off in the middle of the week would do a lot in relieving stress and making the work week feel less like a 5 day slog. The 4 day work week could be configured in any manner of ways. And the productivity would either be the same or even better.
@@ajiththomas2465 I think making Friday a half day will solve alot of problem. We can come home early and rest or go out on a Friday. Then have more time on Sunday or Saturday to do other stuff.
Or make work from home more of a sustainable approach
😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Im trying to do my own thing, but its all about ur mindset regarding a 9-5 or anything else for that matter. My way of coping with a regular job is to see it as a stepping stone for something better and developing a mindset of a more humoristic approach to life, to just observe the ant colony of humans and make up jokes in my mind. To think about the absurdity of life and not let any existential dread drag you down, its all in your mind
I used to work 9-5 and dreamed about my own business.
Right now I work 14-17h 😅
Someone telling the truth
Build a business then hire someone to run it for you =)
I hate being told what to do so 9-5 is not for me. I discovered gig work like Uber and Doordash and been much happier no boss trapped in office same coworkers gossip politics bullshit…
thats some things ive noticed. i end up not dong anything productive as a hobby beacause im either too tiered or feel guity of not working on my homework. and so i end up looking at videos and playing the games i can play mindlessly (the ones i had time to get good at and can just enjoy).
If you don't have the energy or the willingness of doing something then sit with that
feeling and do nothing, maybe take a nap, but embrace the boredom and you will soon do your homework because you will be craving doing something, in that moment you have to make your homework and not listen to the excuses of your brain.
Counting from five also helps, it creates a countdown to take action, or rapid blinking for 20 seconds. It is a skill that can be developed, similar to building a muscle, and encourages small doses of boredom to increase tolerance and restraint.

@@deadlock7946I know that. The o l'y time I ever took the time to enjoy drawing was when I was bored in class.
Also I talk about homework but it's college stuff. That was actually drawing. And yet I did not enjoyed it. Just the fact I had to do something not for myself in my free personal time is so stupid to me. I could have drawn 2 hour a day at my apartment if the teachers helped us with a personal project instead of expecting us to finish their assignment home.
And so I was there. Getting bored in front of videos. And yet doing nothing else.
But back when I tried to bore myself to do the work I needed. I was face planting sheets of blank paper till I was too exhausted to not copy my math stuff. I was basicly having 1 or 2 hours of break. And then I was just sitting on a chair for 5 hours going to sleep at 2 am needing to wake up at 7 am next morning.
I just can't bore myself. I have constant music in my head when I'm working. If I'm creative I'm continuing building my universes in my head. If I can't keep it in there it's drawing time before anything else. But instead of doing my saignement I'm doodling shit that "matter more" to me.
The few time i just straight up worked was when daddy Sakurai ordered me to in his "how to work video". And just randomly for some reason. Probably for the reasons you mentioned earlyer. But also sometimes just because I decided so.
But it's just so inconsistent.

Life is a scary journey, we all gotta deal with
You’ve been conditioned well
That’s why I’m an anti natalist. We got to deal with it, but to subject another sentient being to this is immoral.
You could see it as a journey or a scary journey
It’s short. Live it up.
@@ziggy8253 true the best solution is not being born
The worst thing about modern work, for most people, are the other people- bosses (many who should not be considered human), coworkers (ditto) and if you work retail or any other service industry, many, if not all of the customers.
The worst thing about work is that it's mandatory to go to work because you can't survive without piece of paper on this planet.
@@FactsCountdownand workplaces try so hard to control your entire being while you're there in a lot of cases. They want to box you in and for you to be completely allegiant and indoctrinated
Under the best circumstances, it is immoral to bring a sentient being to life to deal with the pain of consciousness, existential crisis and mortality, even more so in a time when the world is crumbling around us and all social safety nets are gradually disappearing.
Well said. 100% agree
I work as a network engineer and recently have been working with a network architect on solving some fundamental issues on the network. During our project a close family member of theirs passed away. They were supposed to take time off to grieve but never did and just kept working. This was a powerful reminder to me of what I never want to be. This person had a family member pass and all they could do was keep working 14-16 hour days.....
This is so sad and sickening. Workers asked work long hours when they really wanted to grieve and take time off. How can some employers be so heartless? Where is the empathy?
Thank you for the great content! I'm glad I came across your channel! ✌️

WFH was not a good fit for me. I felt as if my home, my sanctuary of rest and peace got invaded. I was disgusted with the need to attend Zoom/Google meetings at home and attend to work matters while sitting in my favourite chair and drinking coffee from my favourite mug. The sense of invasion and pollution was real, and my home became more and more like a workplace as the days went by. Finally, the WFH thing lifted and I was able to finally draw the red line again.
Home is home; I do not work at home. I work at the workplace, and do not treat the workplace like home.
My solution is to use another room for work
@@rexa2851 for me, my entire home is for rest. Just like how I won't use a room at the office as my home, I won't use any part of my home as the office.
But of course, it works differently for everyone. There are indeed a lot of folks who could do what you did.

The critique of the 9-5 work structure presented in the context of Charles Bukowski's life and writings raises profound questions about the nature of work, societal structures, and the meaning of life itself.
From a philosophical perspective, Bukowski's dissatisfaction with the 9-5 lifestyle can be seen as a rejection of societal norms and a quest for personal authenticity, a key theme in existentialist philosophy. His struggle reflects the tension between societal expectations and individual desires, a conflict that many of us grapple with in our own lives.
The critique also prompts us to question the societal structures that dictate our lives. The 9-5 work schedule, deeply ingrained in our society, is revealed to be a relatively recent invention, a product of the Industrial Revolution. This realization invites us to question other aspects of our lives that we take for granted and to imagine alternative ways of living.
Finally, the critique raises questions about the meaning of work and its role in our lives. Is work merely a means to an end, a way to earn a living? Or should it be a source of fulfillment and personal growth? And if our work is not fulfilling, what can we do to change that? These are complex questions with no easy answers, but they are crucial to consider as we navigate our own paths in life.
I despised the 9-5 life and have only been able to work part time for the last few years. Now im a housewife and am much happier but I feel bad for the husband
I'm not your husband, but I'm married to someone who cannot hold a full time job. Please, for the love of god, unless your husband loves what he does, figure out how to get him out, too. You are not being fair to him.

I'm in a similar situation, but roles reversed and I work from home now. I have to admit I do appreciate the silence in the daytime. Reading all the comments here actually shocks me how crap most people think their jobs are...is it from having too high expectations? Something education has been guilty of instilling for some time now.
@@LoremIpsum1970 Ive rarely met anyone who is happy with their job. Even nurses ive spoken to said the money is good but its destroys your health because of the crazy shifts.

Unions make us strong.
Solidarity to the striking SAG-AFTRA workers!
Work days should be 6 hours a day max.
Including commute time. 😶
And still make the same yearly income. I agree
Studies have shown productivity declines after just 5 hours of work so I'm right there with ya.
And only 4 days a week
See I've never really understood why people trash so much on the 9-5. I mean like I know why, but going from my last job which was 10 to 12 hours, 6 days a week landscaping, working out in the hot sun nonstop, to working now in an air conditioned office from 9-5 has been a dream for me. I mean like I know it can be super repetitive and if you've never experienced the alternative, I understand how people could maybe dislike it, but idk I'm just grateful for how blessed I have it now.
under that mindset, everything is better than the alternative, its all relative, some worker in Africa who makes 1 dollar a day would view ur old job as a dream job
@@alivensyde5484which is completely true. So then I guess like what I'm doing at my current job, and how I should have been at my last, I (and we all) should be more grateful for the situations we're in and the blessing we have. That kind of mindset I guess...

@@BruhOmeter-_- Yeah, but the counterpoint is that there will always be something worse, much worse, better, and much better. Instead of feeling grateful for not being worse, why not feel depressed that it's not better? This brings us down to the "glass half full" view, that everything depends on your perspective. If so, what does your perspective depend on? Is it deterministic, or you have full free will? A mixture of both seems most likely. I have gone through this train of thought over and over again and never was able to reach a satisfying conclusion, at least not for long. I realize I probably never will. This is life, more specifically, my own particular life. The only conclusion is death.

Dude you be grateful if you can afford to only work 40 hours a week and live comfortably supporting a family of your own. A big part of the world work more then 60 hours per week and still struggle to feed their family!
a better version of hell is still hell. suffering is suffering regardless of the level
Most had the choice to not create that family they're struggling to feed. Not having kids is always an option almost anywhere where you have an internet connection to learn how to not procreate.
@@gregbroyles3240 Your problem is that you are using an arbitrary parameter which any time the situation gets better, you will see it as "hell", because you are comparing to a situation you might not even like. Hell is only hell in relation to a non hell, but your non hell is heaven, which is a joke because of your binary non nuanced conception.
Suffering is human life, it is an internal psychic reason, we will aways suffer whatever the world or our lives are.
@@Consciousness_of_Reality i see beyond good and evil. i understand that there is no separation of hell and heaven, and that both coexist in reality as one. my point was that suffering is subjective, and you can’t escape suffering through an idea (comparing your suffering to someone elses). you must embrace suffering
@@gregbroyles3240 I agree a Lot with you.
My main point, what I wish people should know, is that our suffering has very few to do with the world itself, our suffering is inescapable and existential, animals dont suffer like us, I think it is because of our intelligence, its conflict with our animality.
At least in my home country germany, the Generation of Workers who start their jobs now and are just out of school or university are perceived as lazy, not intrinsically motivated and overall bad workers. I don‘t think we are bad workers. I think we are the first generation for a long time, who questions this fundamentally wrong understanding of our time on earth, which we‘ve just grown accomodated to. We are the generation that broadly doesn‘t want to accept this. (Without wanting to deny that people were already criticising it, I still think this acceptance in the eyes of the general masses is at least somewhat new.)
I got burned out in a matter of just 2 years bc of a job I didnt like. I was coming home, unable to make dinner or prepare breakfast. On fridays, I'd immediately go to bed and sleep for 30h straight without a single break and still wake up exhausted and unwilling to get up for work on monday.
It's tough, watching yourself suffocate like that. I changed my job - entire sectors even - and found something more fulfilling. It's still not perfecrt but definitely better than before. Having enough energy again to just go for walks after a workday, might sound like nothing to others but has been such a profound indicator of how much I've improved

I really appreciate the recent, more political direction this channel has taken. Cool philosophy or interesting stories are entertaining, but when I hear the word "strike" mentioned as a tool for improving the world it feels me with *hope* for the future. In my language we have a saying: "If you're not doing politics, the politics will eventually do you" (sounds even more menacing in broken English)

I don’t mind working as long as the pay is livable, and proper PTO is provided. The fact America has no mandatory vacation law is absurd, and needs to change.

I've tell my husband that we really needed to work on doing nothing better. Because usually despite what we are doing. when you are asked what are you doing. the majority of the time the answer is "nothing". but unless you have been asleep or just that deep of a state of "mediation" aka literally the art of existing. Practicing just being in this moment as you are alive. Breath in breath out. you are usually multiple tasking on a far more failing level than we ever should have been asked to attempt. So much so that children theses days believe that the hole world would literally stop rotating if they had to wait on anything in this day and age. We have been condition in public schools to be the good little workers just like ford needed back then. Snowballed us with this faster and faster pace in an ever expanding universe in this age of technology it's no wonder our mental health of humanity has spiraled so out that not even our children that could have had a hole life time ahead of decided to shoot there way out. And with their parents being the same products of those public schools failing systems are at the least threatened with punishment for parents who needed to allow their children to not go to school for their child's life. But I have never heard this brought up after a school shooting. Because he who has the money has the power. Unless you have the means to stand up to said power than you have a revolution.

I’ve been sacrificing my sleep just to have some free time. Been doing this for years now. I work far from home. So I get 3-4 hours of free time before I have to go to bed to get 8 hours of sleep. By the time I get home. I usually have 2 hours left. By the time I get done with family asking me to do something. I get 1 hour. But the time I take a shower and just try to take a break It’s 9 or 10pm when I should be going to sleep. Instead I so badly want my free time that I’d rather sacrifice my sleep to just play some cod mw or just watch something till 12. I’m digging my self in a hole I can’t find a way out. If I quit my job that I enjoy doing, I worry I won’t find a job nearly as fun, or in the repair industry as I currently have, but will pay more and be closer to home. It’s a balance I can’t figure out.

Life is like life. As biological beings we adapt to the physical environment, well as intelligent humans we should adapt to the nature and rules of society, by finding ways to perceive things beneficially. Some things we cannot change, so instead we should focus on the aspect of that thing we can change which is our view of it. Something like directed perceptual adaptation. This malleable layer of our lives is so key, and a gift, but quite hidden to most.

Truth: People become resentful when they realize they’ve worked their asses off for decades while being screwed over by a system that pays a fraction of the profit generated by the worker, to the worker, while giving the lion’s share to those who simply have the power to unjustly take the lion’s share. Which doesn’t justify murdering coworkers of course. But let’s tell the truth here at least…
Let's be real, 99% of us will work 9-5 till we're 70 and I don't know how I feel about that.
Not me and you're statistic is invalid
@@blacklyfe5543 reality will hit you hard
@@Lifeisgood479 is that a threat?
@bet486 bro you don't know me and you don't know what you're talking about "reality will hit me hard"? And do you know my reality? Ofc you're just a stranger who's commenting under a random post to a random stranger you don't know my reality bud if you don't got nun to say keep it to yourself!
@@blacklyfe5543 It was an opinion. Get over it.
It is BS and leads to nowhere. Just be with your children etc. And hope they find a way to escape this and not waste their lives.
Most of The workers in this era are the new slaves the worst part that most of them aren’t aware of it they just keep on working like a vicious cycle
You cant compare workers today with slaves, slaves literally didnt have a life and were seeing as objects, you could say the same today but it would actually just be irrationality and dramatization, like a caricature which doesnt correspond to the world at all.
Oh thank god I work at 8-5 job
Gazing at the stars at night..... What do I see?
HANK!!!
Never be a slave we can't go out sad.

Was this joke on purpose or is this just unintentionally dystopian?
Apreture is escaping the matrix
No one can . Only tribals in an isolated island are not a part of it.

Bro you have not watched the video💀💀
@@johannesarnars5008literally 😂
Does anybody work 9-5?? I thought it was normal to work from 6-5 😂😂
Waking up at 4 am and getting home at 7 is also part of the job. Basically 13 hour days dedicated to slavery
@@pullingthestrings5233facts
i work 8-4. in a union good benefit and free college education. i recommend you guys get a city job. they paid less than corporations, but you won't lose your job during tough economic times. also the amount of days off are pretty good.
@@Dave_of_Mordordon’t you have to pay a fee to be in a union ?
@@SpeedyGz_ Yes a monthly fee and it's not too much. at least for me
0:00: 💼 The unsustainable nine-to-five work culture drains the body and diminishes humanity.
2:51: 📚 The demands of work and daily life leave little time for quality recreation, including reading books.
5:27: 🕰 Workers' discontent and lack of control over their work structure can lead to workplace violence.
8:03: 💼 The burden of unfulfilling work and the importance of setting boundaries and standing up for workers' rights.
11:01: 🕒 Reclaim your free time and create the best life for yourself outside of work.
Recap by Tammy AI
a work day should only be 4 hours, you should have the rest of the day to yourself, this way you don't get fed up of the job and it will be fun to do, you will look forward to it in fact. also there will be work for everyone since companies will need employees for 8 hours per day.
Damn
I hate working for a living with all my heart
It ain't work. It's a BS job that's torturing you.
"On 19 May 1869, President Ulysses S. Grant issued a National Eight Hour Law Proclamation."
Are you kidding me...150 years later and humans are still throwing their life's away slaving 40+ hours a week for what...
Im optimistic for an eventual ascension of man and maybe that involves AI lol
Not everyone becomes ugly though.
Some people age gracefully well into their 70s.
Some of us working 6 to 6 😢
Most of the stuff I liked, but because of my utter funny view towards 9-to-5 and the corporate bullshit, the idea that we need to go around it, rather than than just dump it, is something that I could never understand.
There are messages like this, and then there’s messages like Dave Ramsey. Someone just tell me what to do.

And with AI coming, the 9 to 5 may be on its way out, and it's just downhill from here. Economists will claim that new jobs will be created after AI eliminates most of the existing jobs, but these newly created jobs will not be filled by those of us unemployed by AI. The future is here, and it is dystopian.
I agree with your point and like your writing style, but I find stock videos in the background with bad acting very irritating and distracting.
Folks, don't get sad, it this system is broken then it will be fixed someday. Or our selfish species is doomed anyway cause if this doesn't get us something else will, we are too egoistic to be sustainable.
Don’t worry about it . AI is here
