    When I say I’m tired of working for a living I don’t mean that I don’t want to work, I meant that I don’t want to work for other people doing something I don’t care about so someone I don’t care about can better achieve something I don’t care about just so they pay me money for it. I’m happy to work when that goes directly goes toward my own well-being and that of my family and local community. I just get so tired of doing work that I have no personal investment in beyond “it makes me money so I can then give that money to other people.”

    So I play Rimworld and dream of what it would be like to have a role in a small community where everyone does their part for the direct benefit of the community and it isn’t all just about money.
