It's human nature to want to produce as well as consume. If it wasn't, no advancements would be made.
Humanity would die out.

But if people don't adapt to accepting passive consumerism and self enjoyment they end up depressed and even suicidal because they can't deal with how disposable, useless and irrelevant they are.

speak for yourself anon. Not everyone is going to be depressed for being productive. That kind of thinking is probably aiding in your own depression, you should think about that.

Pic related, its me. I'm just trying to enlighten some folks who feel bad because they can't compete in society, whereas I literally don't give a fuck. Not trying to glorify incompetence, but rather to tell men that your self worth should not be tied to your utility- undo that mentality.

This thread is so filled with implicit ideology that is not even funny.

I consume and contribute as little as possible. I just like doing nothing. That's the good shit.

hahahahah

fuck the roboto

You sound like a taoist or like someone who would enjoy learning about taoism

I suggest you check out the tao te ching. Translations of it are very easy to read, but you still have to think about the true meanings

>>36423449
dubious

people rise to challenges

there is a problem of artificial challenge promoting artificial growth

humanity is in such a fantasy bubble worth bursting it isn't even funny

>>36423449
But not everyone thinks like this. Only some of us. All we're saying is we shouldn't be shamed fro not having the same values.

To some, being "productive" leads to stress and an unfulfilled life. To others, the opposite.

>>36423309
yh no, you are just one of those people who havn't learn enough to do their own thing, like its great to create somethings others use and/or admire. it gives you status and feels good desu.

But what if you are just average all around? No one cares about ok art, they only care about the masterpieces.

>its great to create something
Sure
>others use and/or admire.
But the satisfaction you get from being creative shouldn't depend on how others receive it, or if anyone even notices
>it gives you status and feels good desu.
good goy

>>36423309
Indeed no one needs you to create NEW things, but they do need you to create things that we know of.
Only a few actually do want to create something new and make a break through, most are being "productive" simply for the money they need to survive.

If you dont feel more joy when something you create or do inspires joy in others, i dont know what to say.

>>36424342
>something you create or do inspires joy in others
I never known what this feels like and it can't be healthy for you to require such thing sin order to feel happy and intrinsically valuable

>>36424342
>If you dont feel more joy when something you create or do inspires joy in others, i dont know what to say.
I feel the same, anon.

>>36424516
It cant be healthy for you to require any 2 specific things to be happy, whatever they are, these 2 are no different.
But on top of other things that do make me happy that dont require interactions with others in any way, making someone laugh or brightening up their mood certainly does make me good as well. Seeing people enjoy what i draw is a nice feeling. And its certainly a much different feeling when people enjoy something you create, than when you enjoy something others have created. Its just not the same. Whichever you prefer is your personal preference and i dont care about it, but you cannot judge me and people like me for it.
As far as value goes, and what people do to feel valuable, thats a far more complex topic than youd think, it really comes down to what the person believes. Some believe they have to achieve something, some believe they dont, some believe that helping others makes them valuable some dont, personal preference.
But if you are lets say a game developer of a series somebody likes, you certainly are valuable, not just to yourself, but others as well, and once again those are 2 different feelings.
