If there is a kind of life,
There is no need to worry about survival, because the system has fixed food every day;
There is no need to worry about security issues, because the system isolates you from external dangers;
There is no need to worry about work problems, because the system arranges your work;
There is no need to worry about skills, because the system uses drugs to help you focus;
There is no need to worry about love issues, because the system arranges your partner;
...
Then, what are we still looking for?

[Butterfly Wants Funtasee]
In the 1930 paper "The Economic Possibilities of Our Children and Grandchildren", Keynes predicted that in the next 100 years, that is, in 2030, productivity growth will lead to a tremendous increase in leisure time, and the weekly working time will be reduced to 15 hours.
In fact, there is no need to wait until 2030. Even now, working 15 hours a week may be able to meet the quality of life requirements in 1930.
However, in today's society, for various reasons, the struggle for survival pressure, the persistence of worrying and anxiety about the future, the compelling under the preaching of social values, etc., many people are gradually moving away from the arrangement of working hours.
We sacrificed our own, sacrificed the care for relatives and friends, sacrificed the romance for our lover, and found a sense of security in our hearts about the benefits of "work".
"I have no choice, otherwise where should I go"
"I want to live a better life in the future"
"I am avoiding a bad future"
The most frightening thing is that we have sacrificed our most innocent and romantic vision of the world . We work repeatedly like machines, spend every day boringly, no longer dare to imagine, no longer dare to pursue, no longer dare to persevere, we The world in his eyes slowly turned gray . Facing gray, we have a heavy complexion, unwilling to smile, unwilling to be curious, unwilling to be moved.
Of course, this is also called "maturity". While it contains positive health meanings, it also contains helpless sorrow and pressure.
We may think that we are trying to acquire, and we are experiencing, losing ourselves.
Maybe one day, we will, like THX, muster the courage to find our true self in the unknown danger.
