If Viktor Frankl is right, and if I can understand you enough from your writings, for both of us work is a key driver of meaning. Hence, a side hustle or hobby can hardly substitute it ;)
I think that a “job” how it is defined today will hardly be a source of meaning or purpose. And this is because how society created the constructs around what matters and how work is organized. So to be really sustainable as a change I think what’s need is to, for each one of us, to define what fulfillment means and live a life aligned to that. And maybe it’s not even about work in the end. But, for most people, this is a first step that is too big and overwhelming. So I would recommend to start small and find something that brings joy - inside or outside of work
Well written, I enjoy reading this. Looking forward to the next one! :D
Thank you so much for your words! This means the world and makes my day :) I kept your questions in mind to guide my curiosity.
Down the rabbit hole we gooooo
And happily so! Ahaha
“also with the kind of work that asks more of our brains than our bodies”
Nice one. We are highly unbalanced now, trusting the mind over the body (and emotions and intuition).
As AI takes over, and we realise our intellectual capabilities are being commoditised, how will we reposition?
Maybe that's also a way: to value more our body, our physical abilities and most importantly our free time :)
And to find a job that gives energy, rather than just takes them.
Given that unlimited work is rather a certainty (regardless of the financial circumstances).
or even doing 'something' that gives energy beyond the job itself. It can be writing on substack for example
Yes. And we both know that it’s not enough.

Don’t you think?

Mmm… How’s job defined? And how should (or could) then be defined?
