Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

I get the reference, but that's not really related to what I said. I don't want to just ignore your comment if it's a serious point, but at no point did I suggest otherwise.

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek.

I just don’t super agree with your premise that the “real” work of man is to do more, is all. I like to think it’s more to accomplish something with intention, craft, and rigor. We’ve disconnected ourselves from our “real” work.

My verbiage may differ slightly from yours, but I believe we agree. "Intention, craft" would indicate something similar to ingenuity to me. Obviously, totally OK for you to disagree, or think I did not explain appropriately, but my point was that we are not just beasts of burden, we can think and analyze and have opinions therefore allowing us to do things with "Intention" and to not just create things but to "craft" them.
