Exactly What I've Been Talking About #Anti-work

Yes, and it's completely normal that most people at this point would lose their will to work.
What's really the point?
The whole thing about people identifying with their careers is a HUGE problem in Capitalist countries, especially like America, and this shit needs to have an axe taken to it, because I'm sick of it, and what I notice is how much many of clients are trying to suck me into their own lifestyles of this and it has been even more aggressive last year and this year, where I've had to tell these client straight to their face, that I don't need them, and if they don't like how I go about things, they can screw.
The thing too is that, for example when I started my own business, I always designed it with the idea of positioning myself in the future to where I did not need to constantly go out and find or chase work.
Yes, there were some rare times when I had to work over 20 hours per week, sometimes even up to 30 or a little bit more in a given week, but very rarely.
In the rare times when I had to work like that, I began to notice how quickly I began neglecting my health and how disruptive to my life everything began, and my quality of paying attention to detail began to rapidly accelerate close to 30 hours of work in a week.
The thing though is that I had to spend a good 12-15 years also "marketing" myself in a certain way, intermittently sorting through different strategies to get myself out there and build a client base, so that takes time.
But believe it or not, it wasn't until after mid-life that I started to fully reap the benefits of that to where the business pretty much takes care of itself and finds me, and where I have had to put absolutely minimal effort, and so I was doing all that when the economy was in much better shape.
These days, I cannot see how easy it could be for younger generations to repeat what I do or even if I had to do it again starting now, but it would at the very least require a very specific skill-set along with knowledge of the Internet.
It's extremely difficult getting a footing and what the Boomers do not understand or just fail to accept, is that the younger generations don't even largely stand a chance in starting their own gig because in order to buy equipment for whatever it is you need to do, the equipment is SO MUCH MORE expensive today, than it was 10, 20, 30 years ago.
So yeah, keep living in the parent's basement, plus the thing is when there are too many Men living this way, eventually the people who complain about boys being in Peter Pan syndrome and living in their mother's basement will just become an ignored statement that holds no weight, it pretty much already is, because at that point, some very uncomfortable realities for people including the Boomers will have to be addressed that will be much more serious and humiliating than someone being known to live in the basement of their family's house.
Boomers are facing a reality where they will need to live in their car and use shit buckets, and a lot of them are already doing that.
So the more Millenials and Gen Z that hopefully refuses to work, that means more and more Boomers will become the target class for jokes and humiliation, such as "Ratty old grandma" who uses shitbuckets in her Toyota corolla, and where she has to collect piss bottles until she can dispose of them somewhere that build up until she can get rid of them.
Also, while not a focal point of this video, as I've said, the "robots" which are going to replace Human work in the future, don't expect that it's going to revive the economy and make prices go down since they are taking up the positions that once required highly paid Human Workers.
They aren't going to make enough of those robots for the entire Human population, because they need to reduce the Human population to a level that's reasonable enough for the amount of robots they intend to build which would be a maximum of 2 Billion but likely only 25% of that, plus the thing is, the people in charge of Robots, AI and Automation, want to only release these things to largely benefit themselves. Not for everyone else's benefit.
