Why You're Doomed to the 9-5 Trap

"People simply empty out. The color leaves the eye. The voice becomes ugly. Everything does."

Your eyes ache after another day staring at a screen. Your legs turn to jelly behind the cash register. Your skin fades under fluorescent warehouse lights.

The 9-to-5 isn't just draining your energy. It's slowly stripping away your humanity. And one writer saw it coming decades before the rest of us caught on.

This is the philosophy of Charles Bukowski, and why his words cut deeper now than ever.

🎧 This episode explores why modern work is destroying us from the inside out, and what one of literature's most brutal voices had to say about it.
