Oooh this resonates. It's what Marx calls alienation and everyone after him also found is one of the worst products of capitalism. Estranging us from the world in order to create what exactly?! The produce looked so good. So weird how we often feel most alive when we're absolutely detached from what is good for the GDP or whatever. Thanks for sharing. Definitely you're not alone. I'm currently reading Hanna Arendt on the human condition and she picks up on this too, nearly hundred years ago. You might enjoy some of her writing too. It's at least a little consoling to see, this isn't a crazy thing to feel. It's the system.

It is super nice that you are sharing your journey. Writing is such a gift! It sounds to me like you are on your path to find balance in life. That is good. I do not think that this has anything to do with some form of larger system architecture though. Whenever I read some hot take about "Capitalism" I am thinking to myself that you probably haven't had to fight any military war recently. Having to fight for your life changes your perspective. People walk through life imbalancing themselves all the time for all sorts of reasons. I do not see how this has anything to do with anything other than the decisions you make for your own life. Neither Uncle Joe nor Karl Marx have anything to do with that in my opinion. As Viet Cong veterans use to say, today started three days ago. ↑

1111 $degen and thanks for your article; it was a really good read. personally, i'm not anti-capitalist, but i do see where you're coming from. like the other commenter said, a lot is determined by our own choices of how to spend our time/what we've been conditioned to think is the correct life path to achieve success. if you wanted to go work on a farm, you could go do that. you have the choice, ultimately. yes, it would mean a change in your standard of living. but you could. i grew up on a "farm", that is, in a very rural area of the southwestern US. my parents sought out this idealistic homesteading thing. it was quite a hard life for them, ultimately. sometimes we wouldn't have enough water to flush the toilets. sometimes our livestock was eaten by mountain lions or foxes. one of our donkeys died getting tangled in a barbed wire fence. another got hit by lightning (like, what are the chances?) continued ---

I loved reading this, especially after catching some snippets of your farm weekend on ig! It's funny you were talking about how you haven't written anything so personal since the 2010s... reading it made me nostalgic for that time! Back then I also comfortable enough to post my thoughts online. Not sure what happened, but sharing any type of thoughts online makes me second, tripple etc guess myself and I never publish 🥲

good read, thank you for sharing, hope you take the hard step and find peace i’d say that your aversion is not to capitalism but to a large organized society. capitalism is perhaps the first association that comes to mind because we haven’t lived under another.

wow this resonates so much with how i feel 🥹💜 200 $degen Also being in crypto is even “worse” as everything is online, and the multitasking part is crazy! We consume so much content all the time, there’s info everywhere and we also want to achieve so many things professionally that we end up drowning in work. This feeling of biting your fingers, (i litteraly have a mark on my finger because I bite it all day) and being so stressed out that u can’t even think anymore, I’ve had this feeling so many times! it’s like being tired but all the time. Also I try to go to a cottage every once in a month and i feel like when I come back to work i miss out on life. Even i love my job, from the bottom of my heart but there’s just too much. So yes i totally relate with this 🥹
