Every philosophical idea you like pairs with a problem you’ve decided to live with in your life So the more philosophical you are, the more problems you’ve decided to live with

Actually working is mainly problem solving for white-collar types, so going from 40 to 20 to 4 is mostly about just deciding to live with more problems. You’ll notice unphilosophical people aren’t willing to do that. They’ll attack all problems rather than live with any.

Money is only peripherally involved. It determines your floor, not that you’re headed there by deciding to live with more and more problems. Non-philosophical types who get too much money create problems to fill their time.

Deciding to have kids is probably the clearest case of makework. That’s why if you want a problem solved rather than just lived-with, give it to a parent.
