“occupation” was a term from the era when polite society meant pretending everyone was an independently wealthy gentleman landowner so you’d refer to a career as “with what do you occupy your time pray tell”

Yes OP, it is normal for our selves to revolt against this concept. This is because our self-concept, the legacy of understanding and meaning that we call civilization, and our entire sense that there is anything to wake up for tomorrow is derived ultimately from a culture composed primarily of millennia of responses to responses to responses to ancient artistic-mythic works about divine or semi-divine warlords whose only two ideas of “employment” were killing people because it looked cool, and doing whatever they pleased while having songs sung at them about how cool they looked killing people. For these trifling services the demigod was kept by a relatively large, but objectively pretty small, number of unseen people who worked every day because they were growing the food, and if they didn’t do that then soon they’d all be grubbing for bugs in the dirt and we wouldn’t have the demigod anymore. There were presumably also ancient mythic middle managers who pricked the farmers with sharp objects if they started complaining, but the myth-histories of elder days have preserved little information about them. Thanks to our immense intelligence and wisdom humankind has subsequently figured out that this state of (fictive) affairs is “bad” and it would be much “better” if there were hundreds of millions of us who got up every morning and drank a nice hot cup of legacy of early modern colonial empire every morning to stimulate us through our hard work at the dicksucking factory. But if you were particularly hard working as a child, you may qualify for the dicksucking institute, and if you were particularly good at choosing your parents, you may even be eligible to join Diccsucc International. We are also now smart enough that we know demigods don’t exist, so instead of uncritically identifying the present social elite with superhuman powers and origin and actually worshiping them, we make up fake social elites we know don’t exist and tell each other fictional stories about them while devoting all our time to working for the material gains of the real, lovely ones. This is different. Avenues of escape: 1) dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed. Accept what’s in front of you and destroy the mythic self image. Caution, may become bipedal livestock. 2) lose yourself in the hopeful delusion that if we can just do One Weird Trick it will all be saved. Please consult the authorities of your era to find the appropriate “radical” ideology that will never actually be put into practice but if it did, would clearly fix everything. 3) bludgeon yourself into chemical ekstasis with leisure activities such as ejaculating into people, or drugs. Gets expensive fast, but at least now you have a hobby to talk about 4) drift off into the intellectual/imaginative pleasures. Less effective than cum/drugs but also, less disappointing and claggy to think back on. 5) pray for further worldwide public health crises that will induce panicked governments to pay you to stay indoors where you can do what you want. 6) run amok and kill people. Traditionally controversial outside certain job roles, but becoming increasingly socially acceptable. 7) get a job with a lot of down time so you can post while you get paid

Humanity spend 190,000 years working like 4 hours a day, doing the bare minimum to survive, and following their food around. Every time hunter gatherers and civilization interfaced, there's endless accounts of people saying "gently caress this noise" to working 12 hours day of sheer drudgery for no gain and running off to hang out with the hunter gatherers. Civilization loving sucks, OP. We spend our lives working at the baby smashing factory because 10k years ago, weirdos realized that violently mobilizing society to crush and dominate others was a hell of a lot more fun than wandering the earth enjoying ourselves in nature. It's entirely normal to hate work, and you're not weird. It's all a game which we are playing, and you hate the game you're being forced to play.

But, conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.
