Holy shit, are you my wife? I jsut went through this myelf. Returned after ten days and literally sicked out of there after 3 hours, returning three days later.

Im tired and getting older making the reality of this dysfunction (lifelong labor) all too stark at the beginning of a year.

Compensation is no longer helping me smile when forced to swallow lifes shit.

That mouse study keeps coming back to me, the mouse is given cocaine and water in a box and sure enough overdoses shortly afterward.

Another mouse is given the same but also access to an environment of relative freedom and a choice of pursuits and limited checks, controls and restrictions.

It thrives. Only having coke on a mad night out or something (not sure didn't read the end)

My point is is that we are thinking machines not desigend to pccupy a hamster wheel for decades of life.

Its just wrong wrong wrong, but like a boiling frog we are ingrained with the catastrophic false 'normality' of this situation.

I should not be earning great money with a company car and good disposable income ..... and jealous of a fucking mouse.
