(EF45) Purposeless
What will happen if work dries up but doesn’t get replaced with anything?
Giving people money doesn’t solve sadness, boredom, or lack of value. It feeds the belly but starves the soul.
Season Two, Episode Six: Cocooned in webs of lies about happiness and freedom, many people overwork, chained to careers they despise. Would a society without work function and also make people happier? Or would it fail because work is one of the most meaningful human pursuits?
The big question driving episode EF49 is … What is the meaning of work?
Why this stuff and not some other stuff? For example, why is alcohol legal and marijuana is not in most places? Or what if meditation had swept the globe instead of praying to gods? How would the world look if society chose different ‘stuff’ to call acceptable?

What if you could unchain your mind from any core misconceptions hindering you and get back to living from first principles?
Every day you have the chance to accept or deny the conventional wisdom of society.
