    Sense of purpose is probably the single most contributor to positive mental health in a career. Or, simply, positive mental health.

      I was never happier than when I had a job where I felt like I was helping people and solving interesting problems. Unfortunately I’ve never found anything like that that pays well enough to reach my financial goals and in general it seems those kinds of jobs are constantly being enshittified. Currently my job mostly involves coordinating work other teams are doing with users, waiting for shit to be done days/weeks or questions answered, and then dealing with the aftermath of their mistakes. It fucking sucks. I just want to be on the ground again where the only person’s work I’m responsible for is me.

    I would leave my desk job to go on any quest that could conceivably be the plot of an Indiana Jones story

    I don’t think I’ll be very keen, I’ve already got one you see.

    I am constantly on the lookout for my Luna or some shit. I be eyeing stray cats like, “… Is it time? 👀”

    The Holy Grail was an excuse for Europeans to ransack the ME over and over again…

    If they had a realistic goal, they might achieve it and have to make a new excuse.

    I’d like to think most people today would be educated enough to get that, but it doesn’t look like it

      Why would most people today care to know a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia?

        a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia?

        Bruh, the crusades was an extremely important event that occupied centuries of both European and Middle Eastern civilization’s history and we’re literally still dealing with the fallout on a global geopolitical scale…

        I remember when my decades old red state public education was considered shitty, but do people really think the fucking crusades was “a tiny tidbit of Christian-specific trivia”?

          You can argue the same for pretty much any major time period of history. Wars have been fought over the most trivial of causes. Women, minor insults, etc etc. You think this in particular is important because it’s relevant to your cultural upbringing. Why would I as an Asian care about it as more than another historical piece of trivia?

          Not all people equate the holy grail with the crusades.

          I just think they want to belittle the idea of a holy grail. As a non-believer an old trinket like that wouldn’t have much value.
