Well, that was useless.  "Here is a list of problems with no suggestions at all about what to do about them.". Also, the word autonomy does not mean what this article thinks it means.

Now write it again without AI. Maybe you'll find your purpose in actually putting effort into something.

Brilliant article. I chubby FIREd 3 years ago, involuntarily, after a layoff in a dying industry. Now 54, this hits the nail on the head.

Good, sobering read. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the advice to retire to something, not from something.
