I feel this is highly inaccurate because it would imply these faults are on the slave and not on the system. It’s not about the job, it’s about the slavery itself.

I found through personal experience that the prestigiousness of the job is highly irrelevant; it’s the working that sucks. It’s the mandatory devotion to literally anything that sucks one’s soul from one’s body. And yes, that does become repetitive, and leads to some of the symptoms described above.

But much of the above list are based on factors that are forced upon all of us:

• Working, for no explicable reason in a modern society where we are grotesquely wealthy and have a surfeit of everything
• Commuting, a pointless and punishing exercise, often in transportation systems that are lazily thought of and constructed, mostly for cars and not human beings
• Exhaustion, mental and physical, from the toil of slavery, preventing the inspiration of new activities and hobbies
• Having to fake one’s personality at work in order to conform to a social order so that one can participate in a capitalistic society one doesn’t even want any part of
• Uses substances to cope with trauma, such as coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs
• Is too tired on the weekends, using them to recover from the cycle of work
• Mental illness from trauma, unresolved because of a lack of health care funding for mental health, leads him to consider extreme options

It’s about the system, not the slaves.

Kinda reminds me of Fitter Happier

Seeing this has caused The Beatles “Nowhere Man” to start playing in my head…
