I find it kind of silly that so many of those "time based life rule" sayings are like ~deep serious guidelines~ of some sort, but then there's that one other Well Known Rule that's just like "hrmm can I eat something off of the ground or not"
#the duality of human condition.. two biggest concerns in the modern era are attempts at self fulfilling productivity
#and also 'if i drop my sandwich can i still eat it :('
#Also while capitalism is often linked with/the source of hyper productivity culture - note that I do not mean the images in that context
#'meaningful to you' does not have to mean 'productive within a capitalist system'. The point is not 'every waking hour of every day
#must be spent in the most societally productive grinding mindset hyper efficency mode possible' but more like
#if you've always wanted to learn french ever since you were a kid and you think it would be fulfilling to you (just because you like it
#absent of any larger purpose like using it for a job/monetizing it somehow/etc.). and you've just spent like 5 hours straight on tiktok
#or something mindlessly scrolling the internet. maybe someimtes it'd help for your own personal fulfillment in the long
#run to try to - the next time you have 5 spare hours - work on learning french or something that is actually significant to you
#as a person and that you'll be glad you worked towards. instead of weeks and weeks passing by and feeling you have nothing to show for it
#or etc. AAANYWAY. The images/rules themselves are also NOT the main point of this post. More just the juxtaposition of them together
#and the fact that 3 of them are serious seeming while one is so mundane it seems silly in comparison.
#BUT even though they're not the main point . I still didn't want it to come across as if I was like promoting or buying into capitalist
#productivity culture propaganda or etc. I don't find productivity tips like this inherently bad as long as they're kind of divorced from
#those ideas. I think it's still important in life to have goals even if those goals exist outside of the typical expected framework.
#I mean that's actually part of why a culture of chronically exhausted overworked deprived people is damaging because if you
#'re forced to spend 85% of your waking time working at some job that is perosnally meaningless to you that brings you nothing that
#youre only doing under threat of starvation and houselesness and etc. then of course you don't have much time for hobbies or things you car
#about and of course you'll feel more aimless and personally unsatisfied and like life is not fulfilling or interesting.
#Productivity and efficiency is GOOD actually. as long as it's able to be directed in ways that are actually meaingful to the community or
#individual and bring some sort of feeling of fulfillment or progress or accomplishment and working towards a person's personal ideas
#of happiness whatever those are. rather than just working away aimlessly so some guy you don't know can buy a 20th house or etc. etc.
#ANYWAY.. lol.. Me overthinking things perhaps.. probably not as likely
#that people see the silly little cat images and go 'WOW EVIL you must be a capitalist grind culture lover' like its pretty clear
#thats not the point... but... just in case... lol.. I loooove to over clarify things that don't actually need clarification
