Most manual labor in a post-industrial society is degrading and inhumane. Everything you do is totally ephemeral and utilitarian, basically just a rote task wiped of all identity waiting to be automated. There is no sense of history or future, there is no sense of community and of value in the act itself, you are just assisting the immediate gratification of the immediate desires of a shifting, faceless, ever growing mob. Compare building a school for your town or picking crops for your village to sorting packages at the UPS plant or stocking shelves at Walgreens. What a disgusting world
Gabriel Rodriguez
this is alienation, i claim
Nathaniel Lee
Totally this. Also, you are lost in doing. What's impressive about that? When you can labor and be conscious, then you are being. Try reading Eckhart Tolle.

Brilliant description. We're not all fucking Russian aristocrats who can build a log cabin when we like
