but I want my work to be engaging...

it seems like I want this out of an existencial instict; one which the modern world has completely disregarded.

I want it, but I know (and I agree with your stance) that I will not find it in any "industry" work; academic work, on the other hand, does rely on this kind of self-motivated engagement much more than industry but has other problems.

Has the modern world completely disregarded this existential need, or have capitalists weaponized it against workers?
