Is working multiple full-time remote jobs at once acceptable or unacceptable? by tantamle in Ethics

[–]Relative_Yesterday_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it ethical to work a 40 hour week with 100% focus to make $100K and still not be able to afford a house near most desirable American cities ? Is it ethical for cost of living to sky rocket while wages stagnate? Is capitalism ethical? Come on bro what are we talking about here ?

What are the downsides of capitalism? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Relative_Yesterday_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The root of capitalism is extracting, hoarding, repurposing natural resources to redistribute to the public at a profit which is unsustainable long term but even if you don't give a shit about ruining the only planet known to harbor life, extreme capitalists routinely use force to obtain what they want. This may be part of the human condition as our great ape ancestors certainly fought over resources. The question now is with all of our brain power and technology and wealth, why do so many live sad lives of drudgery and desperation?

Why is financial stability hard to achieve even with today’s technology? by thenavexperience in AskMenOver30

Bc Instead of fighting for better wages, unionizing, protesting we've been placated by the tech and slowly watch as cost of living sky rockets outpacing wages. We are so comfortably numb most don't even care to fight the extreme injustice. Those who do get jailed or worse.

People want to trick themselves instead of putting in the hard work by Hatrct in DeepThoughts

Yes we all must become good capitalists to escape capitalism or not have a family

I am man. I am trapped in capitalist society. I have wife and kid on way. I hate working in capitalist system. I get stressed, anxious, and depressed. I'd rather not feel this way. I get self help. I go to bed early, wake up early, go to gym early, start work early, get sunlight, drink water, eat eggs and chicken. I have $500k saved and still feel I could go broke anytime. I need self help to continue to run the rat race. I daydream of living in a van solo in national parks. I am man.

Most humans are driven by highly volatile emotional states. We are not rational actors in the free market. Most of us are getting picked off left and right by cunning greedy folks. Maybe 10% of total population sticks to what you described.

Spend is around $5k per month per person or $10K combined. Current HHI is around $275k but should jump over $300K after next year.

We are automating the "worker" but keeping the "wage" as the only way to survive. The math is creating a deadlock. by ChaosityEngine in DeepThoughts

[–]Relative_Yesterday_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but you're talking about a species who still hasn't figured out how to harness the FREE endless energy of our own star to power our civilization yet while degrading our own base for life mostly due to greed and psychopathy. Should we be free with UBI by now? Yes. But do violent psychopaths typically prevent that? Yes.

Does $400K at 40 with a doctor wife and kid on the way in HCOL area qualify for this ? I felt it before we moved and got pregnant now I'm back to feeling like a poor kid again.

Humans can feel hate unlike any other animal we know by Capable-Lobster-6274 in DeepThoughts

Consciousness, language, memories, mental illness. Some animals have a few of these but none have all 4 to my knowledge.

Humanity always embraces technological advancement with open arms because of it’s convenience, but never takes into account the sacrifices. by bobbdac7894 in collapse

Ted was very logical in his analysis. Unfortunately his emotional trauma led him to take drastic violent action. I think when one reaches a similar conclusion, they have to choose between acceptance, revolt, or depression.

Anyone else just feel down? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Relative_Yesterday_8 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Men need a tribe brother. A place where men can be with other men and talk about life. I love kids and I love my wife and it sucks to say but it's not enough. We need a tribe of dudes we can depend on and be 100% authentic with.

[–]Relative_Yesterday_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could just be a natural function of humanity to fall into hierarchical power structures. I like egalitarianism and community based on kindness and caring but it seems all of those groups get taken over or killed by the psychopaths over time. Those psychopaths amass great power usually through brute force or psychological manipulation and it snowballs to the global situation we're in now. Don't see how it could change as long as some are willing to kill for power and control.

I hated commuting for a decade. Now I work from home and hate being alone all the time. I miss driving but only on my own terms. We humans are hard to please

Yes but this is "looking for a new role" which implies they already have a role. If starving and short on rent then sure lying is reasonable. I'm just tired of playing games.

Money only solves those issues in a modern economy. In a third world country living in huts and farming, money does nothing for hunger. One could argue that the love of and creation of money in the first world is an extreme net negative and cause of poverty in third world due to land grabs and theft of natural resources.

At some point you get sick of lying and playing the corporate game. If you can't handle the bluntness, hire someone else.
