My Existential Corporate Fear
292 sats \ 4 comments \ @bitcoingraffiti 10h culture
I woke up this morning with a deep fear of being trapped. I had a dark vision of being stuck in some kind of corporate job, a wage slave basically, an office space situation without hypnotic escape.
I don't know where this fear comes from, because I've been self employed for the longest time. For sure this might be a residue from my past, school and early jobs. I'm otherwise quite empathic so it's also reasonable I'm feeling the current culture and its stuckness inside the matrix.
Instead of avoiding the feeling I really got face to face with the 'machine'. Like watching a horror movie I deeply experienced this wage slave hellscape. But then it passed and I understood this was not going to happen to me and I felt emotionally liberated again. And this intense trepidation left like it had arrived; just a dark cloud passing over, and I reached satori for a brief moment.
Praise Satoshi for Bitcoin. And I hope anybody else who's undergoing this hell will find their way out.
Bless you.

im also self-employed and have been for a decade, and i think that after a while, you kind of become not fit for office or corporate-style employment. the freedom to set your own schedule and time is too good and there's no tollerance for silly bollocks like endless meetings etc
also shout out to office space, shuch a good movie

def this plays a major factor.
Running your own business is such an individuation process. Like you make money with your own ideas. How can one ever return to someone else telling you what to do, unless you're fully behind that company's goals, or have an entrepreneurial position within the company.
I couldn't do it. I was never inclined to do it.

That fear of being trapped in a soul-sucking corporate grind is like a nightmare that creeps up out of nowhere. Facing that fear like a warrior and coming out with clarity is inspiring.
