Traditional jobs are disappearing. Companies no longer want to keep workers long-term. Instead, they hire freelancers for specific tasks, and technology makes this easier than ever.
Many workers prefer freelancing because it provides freedom and multiple income streams, but it also comes with the need to perform multiple roles and the constant pressure to keep learning new skills.
This change, however, is permanent - and the only way to succeed is to adapt. We need to get good at managing ourselves, keep learning, and push for legal systems that support us as freelancers. Those of us who adjust will thrive - but those who don’t will struggle in the times to come.

On the urgency of leisure: “What frightens the modern world about leisure is that it’s based on the horrifying idea of enough. Leisure requires one to fully believe, even if only for a moment, that they have enough: enough money, enough success, enough beauty, love, muscle, friends, and even status if you will. And that is intolerable. The modern world cannot allow the concept of ‘enough’ to exist. Satisfaction is a threat to the system.”
