I would like to see a gaming schedule thread where we can plan to play whatever games together.

This is pretty solid idea. We just need to figure out what kind of games are people willing to play.

Because, at least in our culture, you have to validate every day some way or another. You have to tell yourself that you did something productive or that you had a valid reason not to. Working is the most common way to achieve that validation.

It's not your or my "culture" - it goes back to the earliest days of man. You didn't hunt for food, you didn't make the fire or clear a place to sleep? The fuck are you eating my food and taking my clothes for then? Off with ya.

Same can be applied to today's person. Western countries are incredibly lax when it comes to people who do nothing. I've seen it first hand; people doing literally NOTHING and receiving money from the state for basically existing. I mean, if you aren't gonna search for a job or even learn anything, why are you alive?
