We Are Not Our Jobs

The New Yorker

The next decade is going to have a massive amount of jobs destroyed due to autonomous technologies. Obviously, this is going to have severe financial impact on tens of millions of people. How to handle this is being discussed around the world. While we see many proposals thrown out there, I believe that the tokenization of the world will serve to alleviate where the present system fails. This is where I feel that the growing field of crypto-economics enters the picture.

Nevertheless, there is a going to be fallout from this radical shift. One of the biggest issues will be psychological. How are people going to handle this situation?

There are a couple challenges people face.

To start, especially in the west, we wrap our identity in our jobs. "What do you do" is the first question typically asked at a social gathering after learning one's name. Hence, after our name, the job we hold is how we are identified.

Secondly, somewhere around 30%-40% of the working class is going to find themselves shifted to the "useless class". This is from an economic sense meaning they cannot secure work to make a living wage. How do people accept the fact that they are not able to contribute to society in this manner while being unable to provide for themselves?

Part of the psychological issue is the obsession we have with our degradation of those who are not successful. Few take the time out to research what really takes place in this world. We esteem the "do it yourself" mentality and put the "self-made men" up on a pedestal when in reality this is an illusion. Nobody is a huge success on their own. We know there are always teachers, parents, mentors, and backers who help the successful along.

Many feel that worth is derived from our work. Our roles as parents, citizens, friends, and human beings carries no merit. The only thing worthwhile is what we do. That is the mantra anyway.

Of course, one believing that self-worth comes from the outside is naive. Self-worth means it comes from ourselves. Society and the programming of the elite want to shy away from this. Nobody has worth unless they contributein a manner that benefits them. This is part of the enslaving system. As I wrote this morning, it is amazing to see people aware of the system defend it through their beliefs.

Here is a simple fact: A person has worth simply because he or she exists.

Period. Exclamation Point.

We need to dispel this belief that people have worth because of their jobs. There are a number of studies revealing exactly how people feel. Without going into them, most people (like 80%) receive no fulfillment from their jobs. In fact, a high percentage of these people feel their job is basically useless and not needed. This aligns with an anthropologist who wrote an article that went viral follow up by a book.

So the question is who benefits from this mindset that we carry around with us?

I think the answer is obvious. The elite are the ones who gain the most. Certainly, the average person is not gaining in any way. We know from a financial perspective, wages in the western countries are flat over two decades. At the same time, personal debt is once again reaching all-time highs even though the economy is raging according to the MSM. And now we find out that most people do not even get any satisfaction out of their jobs.

Yet many still defend this system.

And one of the biggest ways this is done is to put importance on what one does for s living. This leads into the "not feeling like enough" dilemma which people try to fill via retail therapy. Women tend to be associated with this but men are equally affected. The entire "mid-life" crisis is nothing more than an expensive scream that "I do not feel that I am enough". Hence the new foreign automobile and the $900 a month car payment.

It is time we stop associating with our jobs. If you really want to be honest, when someone asks what do you do for work. you can tell them that you are a slave to the system enriching the elite while you get a few crumbs. This is truth for 90% of us.

All rebellions start in the mind. Once we see how the brainwashing and mind-control mechanisms work, we can begin to break away. We are the front runners in this. Do not worry, there will be tens of millions joining us. The main difference is it will not be of their own choice.

The elites are quickly realizing they do not need a large percentage of the workforce. All the bullshit jobs they created over the last few decades, those will be automated out.

Thankfully, tokenization is on the way. This is going to be the solution that breaks humanity from the chains they are in.
