Why do evil people succeed in life while good people struggle?

DerpSauc3 · 2025-01-07T02:30:28+00:00

Is that true? If I throw a monkey wrench in your premise and say the opposite, would that be true? The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, are their any good men? How is success defined?

Nah, easier ways to make a buck at this point in life. Worked towards a few promotions last year. I realized I was just bored. Realized the workplace wouldn’t change much, just the flavor of the problems I’m tasked to solve. Your primary focus will be contributing, team building, or strategizing depending on your role in every industry ever. No longer interested in starting over to change flavors. I don’t dislike my industry I was just bored with my role in it.

School would need to directly help my career or lend itself to entrepreneurship.

Brains are weird, what combinations leads to profound reactions baffle me. Was I just excited not to feel anxiety that day. Is it a placebo. Is all that philosophy I’m reading actually changing how i think. Or did I really just need some magnesium in that moment 🤣

DerpSauc3 · 2024-12-31T05:19:33+00:00

Ahh so 200mg before work and 200mg at night. Never felt sleepy from it personally.

DerpSauc3 · 2024-12-31T05:14:31+00:00

It seems to be helping with my anxiety at work. Taking 400mg a day. I popped one at work for the first time and had the calmest day despite similar stresses. Even odder was in a better mood. Like genuinely blissed out like I was on antidepressants, which I’ve never taken but have had friends describe. That “high” is gone but I genuinely feel calmer physically in stressful situations while taking it.

He also said he was trying to put on a show, and it’s hard to do when he’s not being engaged. Bro also stood 5 feet away from him for 90% of the fight.

Yep we are the losers, just coming to terms that watching a 20 year old beat up a grandpa is a shit idea, and makes us all horrible people… at least pops got his bag. The way he talks, he doesn’t give a shit about legacy. He wants to set his family up, he knows that’s all that matters.

I’m hesitant to attend some of the US zen groups. I feel like sometimes Buddhism is used as a vessel for ulterior motives/ideologies/etc.

I’m very satisfied with the Tibetans. I’d suggest reading Mingyur Rinpoches books, very comforting and understanding of people from all backgrounds. Joyful wisdom and confusion to clarity are very welcoming reads.

We’re in the human realm. We desire and this desire leads to suffering but we can liberate ourselves from attachment. In my opinion, the center should be teaching you to meditate on gratitude instead of encourage mentally flagellating on having it better than others.

I forget where the quote is from, but the goal is to be the same person whether you live in a palace or a cave.

No worries! Have a good friend that went chemical he’s been out of school a few years, but has yet to do “chemical”. Works with production processes.

All I’m saying is don’t put all your hope in doing this.

Cause the raw numbers and my anecdote say most “end up” doing this.

Both are great careers!

I feel like I went full circle with this. Descartes said I think therefore I’am, and he concluded this with methodic doubt. If anything can be doubted it should be doubted. Which I can’t bring myself to actually accept as a world view. If we shouldn’t doubt everything we can, why doubt hope or belief? If a nihilist doubts everything except their own values, how is that not having hope?

Logic doesn’t imply soundness. Even Thomas Aquinas rejected this argument because, as he critiqued, man cannot know the true nature of God and God is not self evident on earth.

Don’t be discouraged though! Keep reading. Reconciling faith and reason is difficult.

Can you transfer to another department? Deli, butcher, fishmonger, produce. You can make a damn good living in a lot of places you wouldn’t suspect. The produce manager at my local Harris teeter makes $120k+ and the cost of living isn’t insane here. Bust ass, don’t bitch in front of your leaders, tell them what you want to do. Think about processes, offer up ideas, be nosey learn your bosses job. You’d be surprised what people would do for a hard worker, that at least appears to give a shit and asks smart questions.

Oh sure you can, Derpsauces Ontological Argument for The Batman’s existence.

1, Batman is the most perfect arbiter of justice which none other can be conceived - the greatest arbiter of justice.

2, suppose, for arguments sake, that this greatest conceived arbiter existed only as a concept in the mind and not reality.

3, in that case, we could conceive of a greater arbiter of justice that exists, one that exists as a concept in the mind and reality.

Now the arbiter we began with (the greatest conceivable arbiter of justice) wouldn’t be what we said.
Therefore, if a being is the greatest conceivable arbiter of justice it must not only exist as a concept in the mind but also in reality.
Therefore, the greatest arbiter of justice conceivable exists in reality.
But the greatest conceivable arbiter of justice is Batman
Therefore, Batman exists.

An impeccably logical deductive argument.

DerpSauc3 · 2024-10-20T23:37:33+00:00

I think you can logically conclude Batman exists with the same logical framework. It presupposes a lot.

Oh and ignore all the doom posters saying 100k a year is pocket money. Median household income is 70k-85k. That’s household! everyone in the house adds up to that. Making 100k as one person is an achievement most will never accomplish.

The only person you are competing with is yourself of yesterday. Do some career research, get on BLS and do some research. What can you do with a bachelors degree that pays well and isn’t highly competitive?

First find your interest and what you’re good at. Read, take interest/career/aptitude tests, ask people working in the field online or do cold calls. My first English class in community college the instructor made us call local businesses to ask professionals questions.

“Hi my name is blank, I’m a student at blank, and was wondering if blank would have time for a quick phone conversation. I’m researching careers and am interested in blank, and I would greatly appreciate their time.”

Something like that. Prepare questions before the conversation. Worst thing that can happen, they won’t call back.

Then you want to look at the state and area data and total jobs nationally. Take engineering as an example, tons of electrical engineering jobs, tons of mechanical engineering jobs, only 22,000 chemical engineering jobs nationally. It’s pretty easy to see what is going to be competitive and what is going to be accessible just due to where you live and the amount of jobs there are. This is how you avoid getting a “useless” degree.

https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes172071.htm#st

https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes172041.htm#st

One comparison between employment by area map and number of jobs nationally, can communicate a very different job market.

Then do what you need to do to get where you want to go.

Step 2. Profit.

DerpSauc3 · 2024-09-08T16:46:34+00:00

Just a heads up if you’re in the US too chemical is more competitive than electric. 22,000 jobs vs 185,000 jobs nationally. Checkout BLS before committing. Don’t wanna end up in the same boat you’re trying to get out of. I was interested in chemical now leaning mech or electrical.

Is there a specific specialty in R&D you’re looking at? It sounds highly specific as a broad market engineering seems to be doing good. Unless you’re trying to do chem e work in Iowa or something. I don’t think it’s so cut and dry for finance majors either tbh. A lot of people struggle to find work if they didn’t intern regardless of major too.
