i talked to a girl on a dating app today who said we don't cure cancer lol when talking about her job at linkedin. it really turned me off. she said that she disconnected her identity from her job during the pandemic, which seems good at face value, but it feels like itchy nihlism below the surface. like we were born into this beautiful world with the ability to literally do anything we want, but the corruption of late capitalism exposed by the pandemic has made coasting inside hollow organizations preferable to actualy doing something
