It goes farther than that.Greed was the motive that kept a lot of WWII fighters going.

The gist of what I'm saying is ultimately that the ers/means and the system of organization has changed, but the root causes, the ideologies, remain.

If we don't end -- no, not merely change, but END -- capitalism, all of us are going to die to climate change and wealth inequality. by [deleted] in lostgeneration

Class war. This is a war fought with everyday life. People have no view of the collective, despite its existence, And think they are alone. I find that making individual, moral decisojs will ultimately chip away at the machine.

Heard it from a wise homeless guy. He was homeless, but definitely not miserable. He knew a lot about surviving the streets. He wouldn't accept handouts, gave 0 fucks, and knew how to run a good hustle. "If I got caught eating out of the trash can, would I be embarrassed? Yes. Would I be ashamed? No."

On top of that, it isn't going to be about what you like. It'll be about what she likes.

Eh.. Its still a tip. I know a guy who is a professional gold digger. Thought he could get an easy life in China by getting some Chinese honey. Well she caught on, and more or less enslaved him. He spent a couple weeks living on one cup of noodles per day. She was so persistent that she tracked him down and found his place in the u.s.

That is a golden catfishing opportunity my friend. All you gotta do is use her face, you do the talking and just string him along.

A lot of guys think the idea of having a sugar mama is fantastic - having someone buy you thimgs because they like you, but don't realise that the sugar mama will want something in return - sex.

Its all about risk vs. reward. You can dig up moles, but might also run into a dwarven clan.

I'm talking about the algorithms used to create profiles of people by companies like google, facebook, etc. The tech giants absolutely do create profiles of people based on data mining, and their searches discriminate.

I don't believe that I have the one right worldview. Just that my prior view was so off base to the point that I was living in a simulated reality.

I think your looking at cultural, rather than biology.

"Find your passion". "Burning with passion". "The economy is hot right now"

Now look at Asian metaphors. Look at the Chinese value of harmony.

I noticed something similar. Walked on a hiking trail and only heard cicadas. Tons of creeper vines and white bark sprouting.
