I often daydream about how society would be if we were not forced by society to pigeon hole ourselves into a specialized career for maximizing the profits of capitalists, and sell most of our time for it.
The idea of creating an entire identity for you around your “career” and only specializing in one thing would be ridiculous in another universe. Humans have so much natural potential for breadth, but that is just not compatible with capitalism.
This is evident with how most people develop “hobbies” outside of work, like wood working, gardening, electronics, music, etc. This idea of separating “hobbies” and the thing we do most of our lives (work) is ridiculous.
Here’s how my world could be different if I owned my time and dedicated it to the benefit of my own and my community instead of capitalists:
- more reading, learning and excusing knowledge with others.
- learn more handy work, like plumbing and wood working. I love customizing my own home!
- more gardening
- participate in the transportation system (picking up shifts to drive a bus for example)
- become a tour guide for my city
- cook and bake for my neighbors
- academic research
- open source software (and non-software) contributions
- pick up shifts at a café and make coffee, tea and smoothies for people
- pick up shifts to clean up public spaces, such as parks or my own neighborhood
- participate in more than one “professions”. I studied one type of engineering but work in a completely different engineering. This already proves I can do both, so why not do both and others?
Humans do not like the same thing over and over every day. It’s unnatural. But somehow we revolve our whole livelihood around if.
It took the US government five years to find Eric Rudolf and he was in a reasonably populated area and they were looking for him. If you or OP were to fuck off, nobody that’s not your family is going to come looking for you. Maybe, just to be safe, don’t post up on somebody’s literal backyard though.
That’s your advice to avoid detection?
That probably is what OP would have to do. Personally, i’d go further out. And nobody that’s not family would be looking for me either. Setting up a permanent spot would be pretty straightforward, even if not physically easy.
Why should any of us have to go through that to avoid murdersquads extracting rents from us?
Because those are things you made up. I’m also not afraid of Godzilla or Chupacabras.
Really? I’m pretty sure pigs exist. 🤔
Hear tell them folks is trying to build a whole city down 'lanta way to house all they bull shit (and train to murder civilians).
