I’m happy to be only a handful of years off a possible retirement. Not because I don’t like to work - I love to work. But our societies seem increasingly meaningless, as Stan Grant highlights here. What’s it all for? What are we all working towards? The current answer is: our own individual selves, things mostly defined around our personal ambitions and feelings and identities. (That’s the libertarian shift I post about a lot.) No society can survive that.
