What is the point of this community? What is the point of this website? What is the point of this life? Are we really here to drive an hour to work, work for 8 hours, drive an hour home, make dinner, idly waste time watching TV, go to bed and repeat it five days a week, only to spend our weekends wishing we had the motivation to do anything productive or fun, but viewing everything that used to be fun as just more work, so we end up wasting yet more time watching TV and making comments on websites for 50 years before our bodies give out, not having lived a truly fulfilling life, but it's alright, because in the grand scheme of things you lived a more fulfilling life than, like, a 9th century French peasant or something, right?

The point is to "get a paycheck", pay rent/mortgage, pay crazy interest on car loans, credit cards, mortgage. Buy garbage processed food, nearly disposable clothes, gadgets, etc. All of which makes a few hundred billionaires very rich. Oh an consume all your media from corporations using algorithms to "inform" you on news and what to think. You are a piece of a pyramid scheme to pay all your pennies upwards while what to think is shoved down your holes.
