capitalism truly sucks the soul out of young creative people. despite you feeling that it’s “easier work,” the passion you would have for your labor simply doesn’t exist because you feel there’s no value in what you’re doing fuck the man, fuck the system, do things that make YOU happy and don’t mind anyone else’s commentary or feelings on the matter. proud of u sir

Millennials and GenZ are possibly the most productive generation(s) currently. And where to we find ourselves in that productivity? Wanting. As someone who's been within customer service within a multitude of offices, I can promise you, no one gets "used to it" I never did. Now that employment is harder to find than ever right now, I'm starting to turn to things that make meaning in my own life. I genuinely think there's something worth more in life than a job and a paycheck, perhaps that's just human connection and a means to make whatever it is you want to do real to have meaning around you with people you care for. The rat race has always been an illusion, but people seem to be beginning to see that fact. Keep on being you G Snipe, even if you're just figuring things out right now, no one person has the answers.

I worked for a corporate job for about 2 months and proudly got fired. These environments really are soul sucking and couldn't give a single damn about you or ethics. Everyone I worked with spoke in a somewhat robotic way, and I could tell (sadly) that everyone there has already lost themselves to their jobs.

I'm 24, graduated with a computer engineer degree from a college in the midwest. Got laid off two months into my first job. Found a new one and have been here 1 1/2 years. Still I don't see the point in working for other people though. There's so much more to life than making other people money, I want to start my own software business and apply my skill set to something I can control

Dude, i have no idea if you are for real with this video and this channel. But I feel deeply related to everything that you said. For you the click was your coworker who died. For me it was my grandfather. One day here you are, on the next, you’re not and its over. For years I’ve been thinking about quit my corporate job, and now I feel it’s time. And i have so manu mixed feelings about it, because, well, we were taught that this is the right way, but this system for them may worked. For me? Not so much. (And I am saying this living from Brazil) A lot of my co workers are sick and taking so many pills daily. How can this be right? I understand you and wish you the best in the future. I hope one day I can start my Filmmaking Studio. 😊 We have to pursuit happiness.

lol I relate. Almost 2 years in my corporate job and it feels like I wasted my time. I didn't learn any skills nor make any connections. I remember being on a call and seeing 2 people get heated over marketing emails...yeah...emails they would send to customers that would probably be looked at for a couple of seconds. Straight up yelling. I thought how can people take this job that serious? I'll probably quit in a month and see where the wind blows me

Would you be interested in having a dialogue about what it's like to be 22 in 2024? I think people need to hear our perspectives on the public education system, the gatekept college/university education systems, the structure of the current 40hr/week cycle. It's so clear that everything is broken right now. Look at the election in the states. How are people even entertaining these candidates as the best options for the largest economic force on the planet?

@g_snipe 9 ай бұрын

Yeah its really overwhelming and I really want to touch on all this in other videos. I think late teens and 20 year olds can see right through fallacies of the system. Its really overwhelming. I don't think A.I. is going to go bad before it goes good. I think we're done with the "progress" that's happening in the 21st century. We don't really see the point of it anymore. New technologies get made but the old systems remain the same? Its why I'm trying to get into Blockchain development. Also I'm not some hopeless doomer. That is a miserable mindset. I think its honestly logic? I don't think I'm a lazy individual who wants stuff without earning it. I think working hard everyday is important and rewarding. But if I don't see it as providing any real value, it feels like I'm wasting my time. And that feeling for me was horrible and anxiety inducing.

@ImSodaLirious 9 ай бұрын

@@g_snipe i identify with this heavily, but feel that the logic portion has consequently made me a doomer. I also have no issue working 40 hours a week; if it means I, as an individual working fulltime, would be able to support myself on minimum wage. That's what minimum should be; minimum cost of living. It secures you rent in a studio apt and marginal profit aside from basic CPI calculable necessities. But if you look at places in the USA like NYC or San Fran, it's a GTA lobby when a $ amount exceeding 100,000 is where low income starts. It's very clear to me that the geopolitical leaders are slowly turning up the pot until we boil over. You'd understand this analogy. We've filled the minecraft server. War, is the ultimate server wipe for new infrastructure. We're about to enter an era that demands new infrastructure, and demolition around people you have to take care of is expensive. It's quite clear what the capitalist psychopath solution is. I want to see politicians that have yet to be corrupted by greed. People without both feet in the grave. The most dangerous thing in this world is a human with nothing left to lose; and complacency has given them power

Large scale automation of what? Automation has been a thing for years and while that has gotten rid of some jobs its created others. They all require a college degree. Not sure what you're waiting for, but you'll probably need that degree if you want to work in the field. You can probably get an entry level position without one, but good luck getting promoted in the future. Unfortunately, for some fields you have to put in a great deal of effort and it can be very competitive. Sucks not having a lot of free time, but it's all about the pros and cons.

"two coworkers died tragically before retirement", "it made me think". Oh no, what are you doing? You are not supposed to think, you are supposed to take that deal with out guarantee that the other end holds up to their end of the deal. Why are you doing this thinking thing? You are also making other uncomfortable who don't want to think about these things. Don't you respect their massive efforts they make to lie to themselves, so they don't have to think about things? They have kids and family, they need these lies.

I personally can retire at age 38. F that, i love working. Keeps me busy, i get to fix problems, help people, etc.... If i get hit by a bus tomorrow and die, i would HATE to see my coworkers, have the mindset that you do :( i hope they see the value in working and providing value to the world. The REWARD from working, IS the work. @9:27 confused on the "get like this" "like this" is the BEST time in history to be alive.
