The idea that meaning is hard to find without work is a capitalist psyop.
Globally, the vast majority of people are already checked out of work - up to 80% in some nations like Japan.
Very few people get meaning out of work today. That entire argument is a gigantic red herring.
From a first principles perspective, here's where humans get most of their meaning: RELATIONSHIPS. Your family, friends, neighbors, and pets.
Perhaps some people are conflating "meaning" with simply having something to do.
It's true that an unstructured life can provoke boredom. Many people "unretire" just because they can't find anything to do after work.
But boredom and hobbies can be solved without labor and work. There's also a bunch of words that we use interchangeably but have different meaning:
Labor - effort in exchange for wages
Work - effortful tasks
Job - a specific working relationship
Occupation - your current career
Vocation - something you've chosen to do
Of course these are only colloquial definitions but this underscores the point! Language around it all is squishy.
My larger point remains—most people are already checked out, so getting meaning from work is a false direction anyways.

Congratulations @MarkRober the damage has been done. You failed to conduct a proper test with the latest version of FSD and now people are using your video to damage Teslas reputation.

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) is almost certainly lying about the facts here.
In the game of public discourse, he plays dirty.

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) is a prominent Silicon Valley entrepreneur, investor, technologist, and co-founder and general partner at Andreessen Horowitz. In this @UncKnowledge discussion, Andreessen reflects on his journey—from growing up in rural Wisconsin to founding Netscape and developing one of the first commercial internet browsers in his twenties to playing a pivotal role in shaping both Silicon Valley and national politics.
The interview also delves into the technological and political evolution of Silicon Valley and Andreessen’s own shifting political affiliations from left to right, along with his vision for leveraging technology to drive societal progress, the role of innovation in addressing energy challenges, border security, and national defense.
Andreessen also discusses @DOGE, a policy initiative focused on government efficiency (and the strategy DOGE may use to accomplish its goals), his “Techno-Optimist Manifesto,” and the imperative for revitalizing the US military’s technological capabilities to maintain global competitiveness.
