What Are You Doing Right Now? (250 Viewers)

[Seven]

That's relaxation and leisure time for most people. But surely the average person will eventually get fed up of doing nothing all day, everyday and try to figure out what they can do to add meaning to their lives. And I suppose if universal income became implemented, governments would encourage and educate their people on how they can make use of their extra free time.

I do not feel confident about this at all.

Which is sad.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, sure. They can. There are lots of people however who don't even know what to do with their free time in the weekend.

I would smoke weed and marathon entire shows on netflix. Then maybe I’d meet someone like @IliveForJuve who would introduce me to hallucinogens and weed would not seem the same. During our acid trips, we’d end up stumbling our way into crack and eventually meth because we wouldn’t have any real responsibilities to worry about.

It would be a short life but a fun one.

If that's not meaningful, then there are many jobs out there that aren't meaningful either.

There are. But what really matters is that you feel you are doing meaningful work. Whether it is or it isn't, is largely irrelevant.

The white trash life. Or indio trash life in @IliveForJuve's case.

There is. Why do you think we have a stress epidemic?

But still there's a huge difference between waking up to go to work and waking up to do soem "arts".

We don't really need more people. The earth is already overpopulated.

Within 10-20 years we'll see - finally - policies regarding this. Especially Africa is fucked.

The reverse pyramid age demographic is a HUGE issue in the West and Asian countries like China. It can lead to economic collapses. You'll have a very high number of old people supported by a very small number of workers.

Overpopulated is only an issue in Africa.

It's on paper now, I'll be working in Paulatuk, Northwest Territories. Small aboriginal reserve of more or less then 350 people, school has about 130 students from kindergarden to grade 12. Start date is on August 27th, flying off a week ahead.

I can guarantee you that a vast majority of the population don’t look at their jobs as meaningful but rather as a way to support themselves and make money.

Yes, and that is something that makes a lot of people miserable.

I've already addressed this and no it won't be a problem in Europe. The developed economies of Europe (west) are find to handle the aging population - it's a simple matter of changing the structures of society to create the needed increase in fertility in especially southern Europe.

Hey granpa @swag you'll feel right at home in the retirement home of Portugal

How stressful is it to be a teacher?

Absolutely.

Honestly, I envy those people who find their jobs meaningful.

Doesn't that always depend on the person? There are loads of people who'd find my job immensely stressful, having to speak in court for a bunch of people. Personally I'd find working in a lab a hell of a lot worse.

I do not feel confident about this at all.

True, I don't know why I thought that. I know a few people happy to stay at home doing nothing.

There are. But what really matters is that you feel you are doing meaningful work. Whether it is or it isn't, is largely irrelevant.

That's what I mean though: jobs that aren't meaningful to the employee.

I hear you, it's important to have a routine, which is what a job provides.

Population of slightly 300 people, all of a different race. You go there as a black man. Man, if at some point during your time there a crime happens...

Thanks.

Right but my point is that people are happy to not work. Giving them money for doing nothing will result in what I said. It’s not being white trash, it’s natural instinct.

Also depends on the career.

Corporate law is one of the most stressful career paths with its never ending problems, especially when there are millions of dollars at stake.

I'm confident that a dentist or a teacher live more of a stress free life.

If you're a boring person, yeah.

The incessant noise and arrogance of teens can be pretty stressful I'm sure.
