I'd recommend you read the book referenced in the conclusion: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4842-4221-6_...
The full PDF is available for download. It's mostly a series of essays, so you can pick and choose and read nonlinearly. It's worth thinking about beyond nihilistic takes.
I'll look into it, thanks!
It might sound nihilistic (what does that even mean in this context? anyway), but it's not.
There are lot of good discussions about what good work actually means. I'm dismissing productivity discussions, not the whole set of belief systems.
