Beta men are men. In some sense, they're more masculine than alpha men.

Alpha men and women are both impulsive, ego driven, and prone to acting based on feelings. Beta men do the needful, day in day out, no complaints, for as long as it takes

burnout shouldn't be a thing for people who own their business or generally have ownership of their time, and have some financial margin that allows them to step away at will without being answerable to anyone

but i don't know how people who just "have jobs" *don't* burn out. how can you be a corporate lawyer and sit at the same desk for 20 years with your face buried in court docs with partners or clients breathing down your neck, demanding that you have shit done thin the our or by monday morning. i don't get it.

if your definition of masculinity excludes "alpha men" i'm not sure how informative it is

what is "needful" is also not concrete. the person who has a family and a few thousand dollars in savings is not in the same position as someone working a white collar job for years on end accumulating wealth with no obvious end point.

How so? It's different in that you are responsible for more people and work for your kids instead of for yourself and you get the joys and satisfaction of being a parent.

But the burn out is worse and hits harder because you're very conscious of missing time with them during their fleeting childhood days and years. And you get pretty much no break to unwind. You're working, taking care of kids, or taking care of your general responsibilities (file tax return, fix leaking faucet...) all day, every day.

Kids are 180. They just don't moot burn out.

in my experience the more other people depend on you and the more you have to deal with loved one's problems the more bearable your own problems become. but that also means that there is no space for yourself as an individual outside of domestic responsibilities. there is just never an opportunity to feel overwhelmed by the meaninglessness of your tasks. especially when others depend on them.

i think it's how men become numb and hollowed-out husks lacking souls. the ones who end up in mental institutions are the ones with souls who can't take it. men aren't supposed to live lives as cattle but the modern economy is demonstrably a very effective tool at turning the former into something approximating that. the US would have fallen apart by now if that weren't the case.

Men were in fact made to be beasts of burden. Rebelling against the yoke is just a symptom of the mental and spiritual corruption created by reading novels, watching movies, etc.

man unto himself is a creative being who manipulates the space around him to satisfy immediate needs and otherwise to explore. even the most primitive people at least had to find ways to do battle with the elements and to ensnare prey. man was not intended to do one specific mental (or physical) task repeatedly in place for the majority his life for no direct payoff to his particular actions, just because his bi-weekly cashflow depends on him persisting in that crypto-prison.

you could describe both of these people described above as "beasts of burden" but it is a meaningless equivalence. the latter does not perform "humanity" in the same sense as the man who lives or dies on his next decision.

i am obviously not using these terms strictly. you can abstract the same idea out to people persisting in a smaller community or someone who owns his time and means, or someone working vigorously to achieve that clear end goal or otherwise some form of power or recognition. as opposed to someone selling his time for steady cash flow for decades on end with no direct reward to willful action.

you are just doing workplace apologia.

btw i am also not doing utopianism here and i am under no illusion that the world operates on anything other than the backs of hollowed-out men, and has since the rise of agriculture. i am not calling for a revolution. i am just saying it is gay and a waste of human life. and that i don't know how men bear it except by flooding themselves with more and more responsibility to others and giving themselves no choice. eg by creating children.

The only time I’ve been engaged with work and not felt burnout is when a C suite bro took me by the arm and opened all doors for me. It was a great ride, navigating an org worth more than 50 billion with ease, making decisions and having real influence. It was a ton of fun. Then a few years later management turned over and I got bogged down in the typical bureaucracy like everyone else. I often think about leaving but I have like 6 million in options riding but who knows if they’ll ever payout. This is why corporate life is not natural. People get stuck in shit they shouldn't be stuck in. The incentives are usually totally perverse.
