Why can't we just be allowed to live everyday to the fullest? Not worry about a job or school?

So it brainwashes everybody since their birth, so everybody thinks that studying, having a nice job, making a decent paycheck, etc, is what life is about... and it does this brainwashing so nicely that most people thinks its even morally wrong to wish to enjoy the life instead wasting it for the benefit of the system.

Well... i think if this day come and peoples work werent required for the system to exist, i think the system will find a way to get rid of all the "superfluous" people... People costs a lot to the system, and the system only feeds them because it needs their work. But if one day the system were able to exist by itself, without peoples work, why should it keep them?

BTW, talking about this subjects is somewhat dangerous... we, the ones who realized this things are a threat to the system... and thats the reason why psychedelic drugs were forbidden after the 60-70s... because they allowed people to realize this things, and so to want to drop out from the system.

And if one day the system become powerful enough to be controlled by computers, there wont be weed (or any psychedelic/entheogen) anymore, but only drugs designed to make people more docile and complying to the system...
