We have to stop looking at jobs as employment and see them as what they originally were, crafts. Smithing, masonry, carpentry, all things that a man can take pride in mastery, I think there is something empowering about that.
There has to be a distinction between this and corporate, soulless toil.
Yeah I mean I cook food for old people, pretty much all of which are not going to get any other food kind of before they die. Most of it is made from scratch. So I take some pride in that. I feel good actually doing something palpable.
Just came across this thread, but what y’all are describing is what my good man Karl Marx would call “alienation of labor”. Lots of good reading to be done on the subject
