It's fascinating to me how people can do something for 30% of adult life(probably biggest uniform chunk along with sleeping) and claim, that "living" happens outside of that time.
Maybe because for the vast, vast majority of people that 30% is the boring grind they have to do to survive?
I would agree if we were on McDonald's employee forum, but on HN, where everyone lives under endless baragge of linkedin offers? That indicates questionable life choices then.
No one is going to pay me to slow sail around the world on a modest blue water sailboat. Unfortunately, we’re stuck with an economic system where people who did not consent to exist are mandated to take part in an activity to acquire income for survival (or be homeless, starve, and not have access to medical care).
Sitting at a desk for decades, regardless of what you’re sticking into the digital box, sounds like hell.
Searched YouTube and got many pages of folks sailing around the world, and being paid (by YouTube views etc) So maybe not so far-fetched?
