Yeah, I've been lucky enough to pursue tangents through most of my jobs. Back at Lockheed, one guy asked me why I took all those evening classes (some at the company, some at community college, some at UTA, etc). I never had a good response ... maybe because I wasn't curious enough? As I got older, my own curiosity took over and I didn't need the inspiration any more. It kinda blows my mind that people can get bored after their teenage years. I actually find myself *wishing* for boredom ... to be so relaxed, carefree, and incurious.

When I was a kid, I was curious about stuff. Eventually I realized that gainful employment is a consciousness lowering experience. Survive another day. Drink enough coffee and it is possible to do things you wouldn’t normally care about. Yet somehow people come to think there is more to it than self-medication. Their identity and purpose is wrapped up in a role that was imposed on them, rather than their success in enduring it. *From: *Friam <[email protected]> on behalf of glen <[email protected]> *Date: *Friday, March 6, 2026 at 8:12 AM *To: *[email protected] <[email protected]> *Subject: *[FRIAM] Energym AI Slop not-Slop: https://www.reddit.com/r/BasicIncome/comments/1rkbq4x/energym/ <https://www.reddit.com/r/BasicIncome/comments/1rkbq4x/energym/>
