Same here, but burnout. Most of the feedback I was getting were in the form of personal threats and "start looking for other jobs", from management.

I wonder if boreout and burnout are just products of the current imbalances of the current socioeconomic system, on a personal scale? What are we doing wrong economically, politically or socially that produces these extreme disparities in culture and society? Are there any remedies given the current constraints of legal, social, and familial obligations? Is finance so entrenched with physical and emotional well-being, that there can never be a happy medium?

It seems to me that some of the more advanced societies today have started to address some of the more existential questions of human existence through policy, to help assuage some of these fears. As before, policy helped to address some of the more physically threatening things like lions and tigers and bears, by building infrastructure. Advanced society policy addresses more existential questions, as in the above paragraph.

Which one do you live in, one that struggles with the basics, or the one that engages and addresses the existential questions of human existence? If you really want to get serious, what is the optimal velocity at which this occurs?
