not to contradict you, just mentioning it:

well i do mind working a lot because it drains my body and i get really really bad sensations after an exhausting work day, including the feeling that everything is shit and such. idk, it's probably only me, but there is people who struggle with work, independent on what kind of work it is. it's literally the exhaustion itself that does it.

though it's good if you made that decision for yourself. doing community service definitely does help the world, especially your local community :)

Yeah that makes sense of course. You are definitely not the only one. Sounds like you know your limits!

In the end, and in my personal belief, we're all one big community and we have a chance to uplift each other (I know, I know, utopian fantasy much?). It should not be a competition, but a synergy. In my book, it's the effort that counts, not the hours.

yeah i'm programming a computer game rn and intend to make it open source once i have some substantial amount :)

actually, i think competitiveness is artificially instilled on us based on a thinking in races, i.e. "getting ahead". not like skin-color, just beating the other guy by being better than him and such. (i.e. like a race-car competition).

Agreed. Keeping the masses artificially competing with each other over the crumbs the upper 10% leaves us just distracts people from who they're really in competition with.
