what about a life where you don't have to worry about careers and shit, and occasionally could go like "fuck it, I want to farm rice for a year", and then go farm rice, on a farm that's managed by actual competent farmers but 90% of the work force is people from the city who wanted to take a year off their work to meditate life and shit, plucking weeds from a rice field, and then the rice is sold to cities advertised like "farmed 100% by bored office workers, artists who lost their drive and other folks who were not sure where to go with their lives" and people who buy them at the store are like 'fuck, I want to go to a rice field for a year'.
I do not understand how people are getting classism from this post and not the intended message of "manual labor should be valued as highly as intellectual labor and people should have the ability to move back and forth between them as they need at no risk to their standard of living, because because everyone should have a good standard of living no matter what they do (or do not do). (Travel and living abroad are also nice and everyone should be able to do that if they please.)"
