@rakishromantic@vocalcry And it's a naive point. If you have weak ties, you are just supposed to escape to Lotus island and abandon all hope for deep connection, for humanity? It's of course understandable, but I think it's not excusable in most cases.
@rakishromantic@vocalcry The Odyssey (Book 9): Odysseus and his crew visit a completely separate land (the island of the Lotophagi) where inhabitants eat lotuses. The scouts who eat it lose all memory and desire to return home, forcing Odysseus to drag them back to the ships and tie them.
@neet_sol Hmm, when you think deeper this is quite accurate. When a man is "working", he is working under another man's command and power. He is being in a sense dominated by his boss. He is being dominated by another man, and losing his dignity, while making another man richer.

@DisgracedProp It's amazing, I don't understand a thing he is trying to say. My brain just goes blank listening to his sycophantic droning, and the only thing that's coming through is: "I'm sorry for even existing, please don't hurt me"
