why did humans invent "get a job" and "go to work"? other animals don't have to "get a job" or "go to work"? seems unfair (hexbear.net)

why can't we just frolic in a meadow and eat berries in the sunshine?

why did humans choose "get a job" and "go to work" to occupy their time rather than hang out with friends and make music and art

I think there was a climate change induced crisis/migration that more or less concentrated us into smaller, fragmented habitats and somehow the douchebags got to be in charge.

of the two creation stories I am most familiar with, theres a consistent narrative of things being pretty great for a timeless and then an expulsion or forced migration away. sometimes several forced migrations before a new "world" is found. I think the Navajo/Dine refer to like 5 worlds prior to their current traditional homeland.
