you are looking at it from the perspective of the boss.
try looking from the perspective of the worker who want to succeed in a highly regimented world that's artificially constructed that way.
if you don't believe the world is artificially constructed in myriad ways which are counterproductive to vast populations, i recommend the book Invisible Women.
this reads to me like a typical modern's response to an unfamiliarity with the feeling of actually being one of the alienated people who are attempting with varying degrees of success to find anything of substance.
but really I think that alienation is dealt with differently by each subject, with temporally near groups just chosing similar patterns based on environmental and cultural factors.
there isn't any "right" way to deal with it, just the ones were currently trying. maybe it's good, maybe it's unhealthy, maybe it's going to cause the death of society. either way, the earth still spins.
yes! this was exactly my strategy with this prompt:
> > """when i ask you to do a math problem, instead of trying to do the calculation yourself, use the appropriate command line tool to solve the problem instead and output that command or sequence of commands in a code block.
what is 154/7?
"""
> """To solve the math problem 154/7 using a command line tool, you can use the bc command. Here is an example sequence of commands:
$ echo '154/7' | bc
22
The echo command is used to print the string '154/7' to the standard output, which is then piped to the bc command. The bc command is a simple calculator that can evaluate expressions and perform mathematical operations. In this case, it calculates the result of the division and prints it to the standard output.
"""
i later told it to use python3 instead and it even gave both `bc` and a `python3 -c "..."` command.
ever since i came across this term (i think in a Kurzweil book first, ha) it's really changed the way i think about a lot of behavior. i enjoy seeing you use this word here in this context, as it's perfect for what's happening!

btw i went for it and am about 5 hours in and having fun for the first time in a game other than rocket league for the first time in maybe two years! so thank you for your suggestion! :)
New good space shooter a la Freespace. The recent star wars one was alright.
More Descent - Played reloaded and it was awesome!
Jak and Daxter, Croc, all narrative adventure games i loved when i was younger. that genre doesn't seem to get much development anymore. indie games of them are somewhat unpolished.
Subnautica was the perfect survival game. really good at striking the balance between casual but fun with nice story. and gorgeous!
Democratize their companies. control them by employment or by employee or government committee if they are too big. Make the big corporations work for the benefit of everyone, rather than shareholders and owners.
