The chosen ones can't work: destiny's conspiracy
A recent thread in the conspiracy underworld has revived an old theory: those chosen by God are exempt from working. According to this belief, destiny takes care of providing everything for its favorites, while paid work is a humiliating and archaic ritual. Supporters of this idea claim that those who have undergone a spiritual awakening need neither exploit others nor be exploited.
The divine unemployment theory
The central premise is simple: if you are one of the chosen, you will stop working because God makes sure you can't find a job, or that any job you take is pointless. It is compared to the fantasy of Scarlett Johansson waiting for you at the supermarket; a metaphor for how unreal conventional working life is. Trinc argue that years of study and training have been in vain, and that destiny will finally reward their spiritual fidelity.
Irony and skepticism among the awakened
Despite the messianic tone of the original post, most replies are openly ironic. Comments like "damn, now everything makes sense" and "I'd gladly accept it if it came with some healthy cash" reveal widespread skepticism. Some even joke that gypsies are the chosen ones, or that not having children is part of the plan. The recurring question is whether the "dole money" (unemployment benefit) is compatible with enlightenment.
The implicit consensus is that the theory serves more as an excuse for voluntary unemployment than as a divine revelation. Nobody disputes that, in practice, someone has to pay the bills, even if it's the State.
What remains unanswered is whether this current of thought is just an inside joke or a real movement of people who have decided to disconnect from the labor market. What is certain is that, for now, the INE (Spain's statistics institute) has not included "chosen one" in its labor force survey.
