> but I do feel that most jobs aren't particularly meaningful, and so they act as a pacifier that fills in our time
For like 99% of people, work exists so they can buy a food and a roof over their head.
> the question of: what do we do with our time?
I've got a growing Steam library of games that I've bought but haven't gotten around to playing.
It always surprises me when people complain about being bored after retirement. If you've got disabilities or fading health so don't have the energy or ability to do the things you want, that's understandable. But I'll never understand the people that are able-bodied yet get bored only months into retirement. I just think...what did you do during your free time before you retired? Just stare at the TV?
