why did humans invent "get a job" and "go to work"? other animals don't have to "get a job" or "go to work"? seems unfair (hexbear.net)

why can't we just frolic in a meadow and eat berries in the sunshine?

why did humans choose "get a job" and "go to work" to occupy their time rather than hang out with friends and make music and art

I'm absolutely not a "hierarchy is natural" guy but there are examples of animals that work for other animals. Ants will literally domesticate aphids and harvest their secretions.

That being said i don't think we decided to work i think it was decided for us by the ancient sociopaths

I mean humans are a natural extension of the ecosphere. Everything we do isnt completely disconnected from nature, even when its not to its long term benefit which is also a very human thing to be concerned about.
