The notion that one's economic output is equal to one's worth as a person seems pretty wrong-headed, when considering what the purpose of life is.

>when considering what the purpose of life is.

And what is that exactly?

At best we seem to be rather large containers to ensure that genes get replicated.

That's for us to decide as individuals.

no contest on the first part, but can you enlighten on what is the purpose of life?

What point are you trying to make?

Point being that at no point in your life are you bound to be defined by "job"-"retirement" state transition.

Shed it already.
