What is everyone doing with their life?

25, studied to be a machinist but I decided working with lathes and CNC machines really sucked and dropped out of school, worked as a machine operator for an excavation company and that sucked too. Now I'm what one might call a hikikomori so I got a lot of time to pique my autism by playing haven until I croak from being poor in a dystopian capitalist society.

I'm sorry you think the peak of human achievement is dystopian.

I'm sorry you think the peak of human achievement is dystopian.

The peak of human achievement is not dystopian. however, we have not reached that peak. We have reached the pinnacle of capitalism, and it's going to crash sooner rather than later. (One thing I can agree with jorb's financial guru on.) We wouldn't have gotten to where we are without it, but like all things, it's time to learn our lessons and move on before we create another dark age, or worse, drive life into extinction.

But then life always is dog eat dog. If you don't have the stomach for cannibalism or dog, you're just screwed.

I'm 30 years of age from Norway and i work as a laborant/chemist. I drive for 1,5 hour eatch way to my 8 hours a day job + a hour to prepare for work = 12 hours a day goes to work related stuff.
Got a big house, girlfriend, child, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a small social network. Which also takes alot of hours eatch day. So i get about 1-2 hours of gametime on a good day. But i still find HnH enjoyable, and i do find my purpose in the community close to my base. - Mainly trough trade and niche markets. In the start of world 10, i supplied a somewhat big russian base with 20 cupboards of fish and 2-3 cupboards of grubs to fuel their growth, in return i/we got their leftover tools, anvils etc. Which greatly helped our progress.

Can't wait for world 11, going to be so much fun starting fresh with everyone, even though i wil be behind the majority of you in progress. (Sorry for very bad language, had to write this at work, rushed it)

Played on and off ever since W3 when I was just 14 years old. Currently 22 now. I'm not pursuing any career as I prefer a minimalist lifestyle and have no need or desire of anything beyond a modest wage, and if the time comes when I decide I need something more, then I would take a better route than just selling my labour. Currently not working or studying but I'll probably look for my next job in a few months.

More generally, I spend most of my time studying topics of interest via the internet, talking with friends, playing games, and producing the occasional youtube video.

Currently 25, started playing back when I was 16 and in highschool. Went to university for a year but it's so disgustingly expensive here I could of bought a house instead, been working at a fairly high end seasonal job now for a few years. Gives me a lot of time to do what I enjoy with life which is studying, reading science articles, playing games and such all winter when I am off work. Live by myself, pay for all my own stuff and 75% of my life is my own time instead of slaving away at a McJob, pretty happy. Intend on going back to university somewhere's cheaper next year or buying a house hah!

Well before the time I'm too old to work, humans will be unemployable anyway due to automation.

As bad as I fit what I'm about to say, making me feel like a hypocrite, I'm going to say it:

Don't make assumptions about the future. You never know what kind of shit the world is going to pile on you. you might end up being the test case for a new law making it felony vehicular homicide if you get in a car wreck while messing with your phone. Good luck getting a good job with that on your record. Disclaimer: I have no clue if anyone here is one of those people. I'd like to think everyone here is a safe and attentive driver. I'm just pulling an example out of my ass. 40 years ago, nobody gave a shit if they drove home drunk... and then the laws were changed, first just a big fine, then loss of license, then prison time if you killed someone--at least in most US states.

And in the future, the world might become automated, but that may not be in your lifetime. If it is, (probably will be) you might need to be one of those few people that either creates or runs that automation, else you're going to be relegated to the starving masses... and I do mean starving because the way the world population is going, and if the other "near future" predictions are correct, "climate change" is going to decimate our food sources. If you ain't rich, you'll be starving. It'll be the middle ages all over again with the villagers rioting over the meat of a dead dragon. Wait, that's a movie.
