In an office, you dream of home.
Working from home, you dream of silence.
That freedom turns into isolation.
The silence is filled only with YouTube and video games.
Uninterrupted brain and bed rot.
The problem isn't location anymore. It's purpose.
We chase the mythical role that offers meaning, freedom, and a high salary — the unicorn that keeps us searching instead of building.
The meaning is hollow, misaligned with your values.
The freedom is crushed by the 9-to-5 schedule.
The pay has a ceiling set by the market.
Stop.
That miracle doesn't exist within their system.
The answer is to stop asking for permission.
If you can't find a job that offers autonomy, build it.
If your field doesn't allow meaning, switch fields.
If the corporate reality is broken, build a new one.
Start with an idea. Acquire skills on the way to build it. Ship it. Fail. Fail again.
You'll learn more in one year of dedicated failure than in a decade of comfortable employment.
You'll become unemployable:
- Real skills, forged in the fire of actual creation.
- The experience of a builder, not an employee.
- A trail of failed projects that are more valuable than a flawless resume.
- The eventual success that is entirely your own.
- A pure disdain for the default path.
- A ruthless desire to build meaningful things and provide meaning, employment, and knowledge to others.
The cage is unlocked. Walk out.
