Sometimes it pains me to think about the amount of time we waste on pointless nonsense. 

I used to commute from orange county to downtown LA. My co-workers did the same from many parts of greater LA. Combined, we wasted hours commuting to the office. You take that and zoom out to the building, to the neighborhood, to the street, to the country, to the globe. But it doesn’t stop there. We sit for hours in offices doing absolutely nothing - pretending to be productive. The job I would commute to did not require me being in the office. I could have done it remotely in a fraction of the time, but here I was like an idiot, waking up early af, getting dressed, making my way to the city in a river of other idiots doing the same thing. Commuting to a city of idiots wasting hours chatting with co-workers, going to lunches, attending pointless meetings to create pointless stuff.

I get that people have bills to pay, but if you just pause and think about the total amount of human life force thrown away at mind-numbing activities … my god.. it’s the matrix. We live in the matrix. How else do you explain the scale of this mass psychosis? How can we justify doing this to ourselves? I know this is not applicable to all, but the vast majority of human kind operate under these conditions. We’re primitive beasts, nothing more.

Sometimes I imagine a society where we are not all brainwashed to waste our entire lives on pointless crap and wonder how long it may take to actually get there.
