I enjoy reading your blogs, because they are inherently human.
Yet I have to react from the female perspective ) This feels like a very problematic part:
"Woman was free, but chose to become an employee. And so now she too produces, consumes, dies; instead of creating, nurturing, loving."
From my reading of history, just 100 years ago in central Europe, a female was not free - to even get an education and followed with a job to sustain her own self. And to think whether toady, she should think of an utopian past, when she "was" free, is an evolutionist way of thinking - which in social sciences was long abandoned. What is considered more useful, is analysing the curent structure of things.
From present prespective, we are not only slaves to jobs, but also statuses, social hierarchy, and dopamine addiction =) It looks like giving people more education didn't give them more freedom. But some countries/regions are more relaxed then others, I would say.
It is a long and difficult debate how to achieve better life - for oneself, or for the society :) I really vibe with your description of this dystopian vision. Empty streets. No free time. It is something a french filosopher Simone Weil discovered while abandoning her teacher's job to work in factories - that a worker is totally enslaved by his/her job, with their mind and body. The problem stays: how can s/he set himself free? While also recognizing, that work is a human condition (like Hannah Arend says).
My point of view is that women chose about 150 years ago to enter the capitalist workforce (Protestant women were a big part on this, contrary to Catholic women) instead of keeping their status.
Now, capitalism engulfs everything and everyone: men, women, children. Even today, men and women are incapable of freeing women from their capitalist servitude. Women should create and nurture civilization. Women should be oracles, sacred sluts, artits, muses, artisans - not employees.
The sad part is that we have the technological means today, but society and school still indoctrinates people on the fact that they should actually aspire to become part of the capitalist system instead of pursuing their Will.
Yet on the topic of enslavement - here is an angry take: https://www.alilybit.com/p/i-cant-support-every-author-i-like
I just read after commenting on yours :))
