My worst nightmare is working until death. What an absolute waste of the only time we have on this earth.
Same. The thought alone saddens and pisses me off so much. Life has so much more potential than this.
My worst nightmare is not engaging my mind and turning into a reactive mush pile that yells at a TV screen out of manipulated fear. I see what's happened to my mother and how my father has maintained his sanity.
I plan to "work" until I can't. However, at some point, I plan on retiring from my career and getting into re-wilding and offering my services and knowledge at a steeply discounted rate so I can work with and train people in a field our planet needs. Hopefully doing some field work and manual labor alongside younger people that can out pace me and teach me their knowledge & skills about the natural world that I didn't learn. That, or starting some sort of no-til organic community farm/ranch or something else that engages my brain & body that provides greenspace.
I don't want to take jobs away from those that need them and I figure this will be a good way to avoid my worst fears, keeping positions open for those that need them, and to pass my knowledge along to the specialists that are growing in the knowledge space I excelled in in my carerr (software data science & engineering).
That's a wonderful plan, but not what's being discussed.
People are being forced to work until death, just to survive.
It sounds like you enjoy teaching others, which is awesome, but you aren't at risk of dying hungry on the streets if you stop.
It's one of my biggest fears as well, but sadly, I've accepted that it will most likely be my fate to work until long after my body is destroyed just so I can afford to sleep and eat
