“The entirety of humanity has become one big business, and each of us is, willingly or not, part of this ever-growing, destructive, polluting, utterly pointless corporation. What is the point of working when there is hardly a job left on the planet which doesn’t guarantee the end of civilisation? The problem with jobs today is that they have stopped servicing society and have prioritised servicing the annihilation of climate and ecology. The primary goal of work today is not to provide a service, but to generate profit. This shift in priority has not only damaged services and job satisfaction. It has put the planet firmly on a path of destruction. No matter which industry we work in, we are all working on the same project, the biggest one we have ever worked on: Project Collapse.
Doctors are part of wasteful healthcare systems that exist at the mercy of chemical and pharmaceutical global corporations, having become direct outlets for plastic single-use products and overpriced drugs. But other than that, yes, they are saving lives. Farmers are largely nature destroyers: wasting water, depleting the soil microbiome, poisoning Earth with forever chemicals. But other than that, yes, they are feeding us. Office employees, of any and every type that exists, are the coordinators and administrative assistants to all this destruction: pushing paper, pushing money, pushing the marketing campaigns which push consumers towards consumption.
But rest assured: the destruction of this planet is supported by a well-educated, experienced and dedicated team here to assist you on every step of your final journey. Scientists research it and engineers design it. Lawyers endorse it and project managers organise it. Bankers and insurers finance it, and marketers announce it. Politicians normalize it, and religious leaders evangelize it. Teachers ignore it, and journalists censor it. Bosses delegate it, and employees tolerate it. These are just some of the most important bullshit professions”

@Philip_Goff@Matzan481_ I met Deepak Chopra some 30 years ago. Brilliant man. But most Quantum physicists don’t take him seriously. However, I think he is on the right path.
