  That’s a sign of toxic culture, not of men wanting to be defined by what value they can bring.

    *monetary value

    (bcs value that people actuality bring to society often isn’t fairly valued in terms of money or even not at all)

  You have a very limited view of what life should, or even can be.

    It’s not a normative statement. I don’t necessarily think it’s good. I just don’t think people can be happy being useless

      Define “being useless”. It certainly seems that “being useless”, to you, it is either “not working” or “not creating monetary value”, which would be super ironic given that there are many jobs around the world that make the person feel useless or worse

      I’d say that anyone that feels the need to define themselves “by their role” has no clue on who they are or can be, needing the rest of society to direct them

        Everyone defines themselves by their role. If you’re only living for yourself, not helping anyone or doing anything for anyone else, why live?

      People are being harsh with the downvotes but I get what you mean. I get bored and restless doing nothing productive for long lengths of time.

      I’m also guessing you don’t mean a 40 hour grind where all the profit goes to a small group of individuals in your example.

      If I was told I could work or study but didn’t have to and it was public profits, I’d probably still end up doing a 20-25 hours a week in something.

        No I didn’t

  Even if so - the definition of oneself is what that person gets paid for, not what that person enjoys doing?

  … like, lmao, except if it’s like a weird grinding kink or something.
