Okay here. I think that human beings have overlooked the potential effects that our domestication of each other is having on us. We have to answer to too many demands- demands that ONLY exist because of our  dependence on money/human productivity. However, I don’t believe that humans were meant to work as much as they do- 2/52 weeks to themselves d during those weeks only 2/7 days to themselves and their families, and out of those days ~7 hours to themseves and their families. Mental illness is on the rise and I think that having forced ourselves into domestication is the main contributing factor to this sense of dissatisfaction- I mean, 70% of people (in the US, at least) aren’t satisfied with their work- which is too big a number to overlook, but I don’t necessarily think that it’s only the TYPE of job that is the cause for dissatisfaction; I think it’s the having of a job itself; the sacrifice of one person’s time to another’s authority which ultimately decides whether you’re worthy of your pay (which one needs to survive). This is wrong; no person should be allowed to determine whether other people are allowed to survive; no one person should be considered above anybody else because at the end of the day, we’re all going to die and then decay; nobody looks at the skeleton of a former king and says “wow his bones are SOOOOO regal!” No; everyone’s bones are the same; everyone uses the bathroom and picks up after their dog. We are all the SAME and yet we allow accumulation of money- something that was never present in our nature to begin with- to distinguish ourselves over others. Which gives regular people feelings of inadequacy because  we’re never gonna be able to accumulate as much money as the super rich- who’ve achieved their goals thru the manipulation of numbers/peoples’ time while there are people who can barely afford to feed their families despite being on welfare and working multiple jobs. This is another potential contributing factor to the rise in mental illness- a sense of hopelessness; a sense of wonder as to where their next meal will come from- but hard work IS the answer (despite how hard they’re working already and how little time they get to spend with their families)- while rich warmongers, and resource thieves can spend barely any time working because their jobs require very little if any energy at all- we’re busy doing all their grunt work. They get to retire early and live comfortable lives while everyone else works their asses off and has to decide how “responsible” they want to be with their money- as though that was something that EVERYONE collectively agreed upon. But no, the majority of people HAVE to worry about the potential of going hungry because of a system that is drivin by greed; we HAVE to worry about allocating family/friend time because if we get too consumed in our jobs, we just end up tired and not wanting to do anything with anybody, and we have to deal with mental health disorders that I believe are caused by excess stress, minimal autonomy over one’s body, and lack of personal time/time spent in nature all of which are integral to the advancement of American capitalism because our society relies on the subversion/suppression of human nature in order to survive- which is mentally unhealthy.
