>>10121 Anon is lucky he doesn't knows what's working all motherfucking day like a donkey

>>10123 You'd like David Graeber

>>10121 it would be wrong to say we aren't meant to work. it's true we aren't meant to wageslave at useless, brain-melting modern jobs. but humans are creative, innovative, driven, creatures. i think the fact we can experience boredom is enough to show we are meant for work. meaningful work, that is.

>>10132 replied guy here. oh the 12 hours thing? nah, i know. i know full well. >>10123 incomparable, "hunter gatherers" is a completely different mode of being, like you're different species altogether, i'd say, the difference in psyche and soul as much as if you meet someone from a wizardworld isekai, it's just too alien

>>10139 I mean yeah, the world now is so industrialised that your current working man is very different from his ancient hunter gatherer ancestors, same deal with western men compared to men living in primitive tribal communities like in africa or asia. Still, the common connection with all of them is that they have to give effort to survive, it's just that maybe the more primitive life style of hunting for food is less effort and less stressful than working for food. Perhaps its more of a question of improving working conditions for the working class, but that seems to be an issue that's never fixed, so maybe we should just return to monke.

are you learning a dead language right now? i think if i were to learn one it would be latin or ancient greek.

>>10117 op here, yeah, dabbling, its freaking hard though, you really need to memorize the tables or you'd walk limplegged like a lame when reading a sentence. not to mention all the other stuffs. to me i see three ways of going with these shits (latin, greek, etc) 1. u like the culture/ethnos quite much that u are fine if you are to larp as them 2. or u like linguistics in general as nerdy specific interest 3. or without any interest all u have to rely on is Sheer Pure Will, and u see how fortitous u are

>>10120 the best way to learn a language is by using the language (speaking, writing, ingesting) so learning a dead language is doubly hard because there's nobody to speak to best of luck hikarin

>>10134 there's a certain charm to being quite alone with a language that no one speaks. imagine being lvl 999 in a completely dead unpopulated mmo, it's very solitary, but there's a certain romanticism to it "it's all mine, alone".
