Thank you! My takeaway and understanding is, essentially, while we acknowledge the challenges of living in a complex and often unjust world, we can emphasize the importance of maintaining inner peace, exercising agency, and pursuing virtue while we simultaneously strive to not become alienated from our work due to the division of labor and the standardization of tasks. By doing so, we find meaning and fulfillment, even in the face of alienation. Your topics on meaningful work as the cure for depression and melancholy have worked wonders for me. Thank you Andreas for turning on the lights!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are a very small group still, of only a few dozen readers, and it sometimes feels futile to do all this work and to produce this content for such a small group of readers. But your message reminded me that one can do meaningful work even for a few readers, and it makes me happy to know that you find these posts helpful!
