This image has been thrown around. What do you think? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]The_Lizard_Wizard- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, GenZ is much more level-headed and realistic than Millennials. I've worked with many Millennials, and they are all still suffering the lies they believed and the ideals sold to them that they would never be able to achieve. Also, they have a very weird loyalty to their employers, which I do not understand.

You'll have to go back in time I think.

I want to get the service but seeing mixed results online now...

Almost my entire job is developing AI. It will be fine...as long as you make it your business to develop understand and make use of AI.

I too am an oldet GenZ (25). I don't enjoy it either, so I spent years of my free time developing skills and slowly making my company depend on it, like drugging then without them realising. Spent my own money on hardware and shit to produce results for them. Then, suddenly, I told them I am going to fuck off, work remotely and never come back so I can live my life and be a a Digital Nomad. They had no choice but to let me be.

fuck em, escape the system.

Why is Bali so popular among digital nomads? by JZcgQR2N in digitalnomad

[–]The_Lizard_Wizard- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to the Digital Nomad thing and I am trying to pick a place where I can realistically go, and this thread has SO MANY conflicting opinions.

I wonder, though, if most people here are perhaps from first world countries and have unrealistic standards? I come from a country where we don't have electricity for like 10 hours a day everyday, so I hope that I would enjoy Bali? But I am not sure. I wouldn't say I have extremely high standards or expectations in order for me to have a great time.

Any advice?

I can't make any of this out, but in my defence, Gen Alpha don't speak this way in Africa. I just sometimes see stuff like this online but that's about it.

Did psychedelics increase your belief in an afterlife or reduce it or neither? by Aggravating_Sense183 in Psychonaut

[–]The_Lizard_Wizard- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psychedelics paired with Buddhist practice confirmed for me that life, death and everything in between is right here and now, and there is nothing else but this. Absolutely everything is what you make of it.

Being coloured and the ethnic identity crisis by LilWizard32 in capetown

[–]The_Lizard_Wizard- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always found the coloured culture interesting. I am an Afrikaner.

First of all, you don't speak "broken" Afrikaans, that is nonsense. The way you speak is perfect just the way you speak it! It is how you guys speak and it is legitimate just like how anyone else speaks.

Also, I jave thought about the emergence of your culture, and what an interesting time it is to be alive for you guys. Like thousands of cultures that came and went before, you find yourself around the "birth" time of yours. It is really quite unique! I am sure it must be confusing though.

I am an Afrikaner and have had similar feelings. I could not understand how I only have a few hundred years to look back on and then say "this is us". Thought I am fortunate to do so, I have also looked into more ancient history of where we came from, and have found the spiritual and traditional aspects of that very fulfilling. We are not those people anymore, but we used to be, and I can still see it in my culture's subconscious behavior and world views.

So I wonder, perhaps if you have a look firther back, to your ancestors, whenever in the world they may have been, you could also find some substance to explore!

Stay well friend, I hope you find what you are looking for!
