Nihilitarianism

Happiness arises from reaching beyond ourselves. For the longest time, work was a way to do this, but because of industrialisation we no longer see who we're helping and we no longer even feel like it's we who are really doing the work, almost more as if we're being worked. Most work nowadays is more about building an identity than reaching beyond it: we do it because it gives us a place, not because it liberates us.
