    Work in the context I meant was definitely the type that results from the current hierarchy resulting in the categorical failure you’re pointing out.

    Contributing to someone you meet and relate face to face to feels good. Contributing to the concept of company or the “stakeholder” not so good.

    Personally i like to do a little of everything but forced myself to learn a specialty to earn a livable wage.

      In that case, I guess I agree with him that most people don’t want to ‘work’. Wanting to be a wage slave would be bonkers. Most people want to contribute meaningfully to society and don’t want to starve, but that’s not what ‘work’ means.

        Right, it should just mean paid labor, but the people complaining about this would prefer it unpaid.

        I’d prefer pay to be unnecessary and the labor voluntary. At least I think that’s a good ideal to work towards.
