encourage innovation in the banking and financial system
What “innovation” do we need in the banking system?
A better way to convey the original message would probably be
You’re not depressed because there’s something fundamentally wrong with you, you’re depressed because there’s something fundamentally wrong with the world.
Kinda wild that Halo didn’t make the cut… I guess it was only PC shooters?
The other cats.
Whoever said it was easier to destroy than to create never tried collecting their feces in jars for nine months.
I don’t know man… who’s left to buy a Tesla at this point? MAGA people aren’t gonna do it after Elon attacked their god-emperor, and it’s not like liberals are just gonna forget the last several years of his ketamine-fueled fuckery.
The jig is up. There’s no one left who wants to support this clown.
Yeah, this is pretty much exactly how I feel about it. The universe is nothing but dead matter being pushed around by blind force, and any sense of agency is just an emergent phenomenon that exists as an illusion in the brain without having any actual bearing on reality. If you perfectly understood all of the forces and matter involved, you could perfectly predict what any given human (or anything system at all) would do.
That said, I also believe that it’s a completely useless idea when you’re trying to navigate through life, so I mostly just keep it in the back of my head like some half-forgotten piece of trivia and spend most of my time pretending to be in control like everyone else. Cheers!
No way Trump knows what “atrophied” means…
Billionaires putting money above basic human decency is actually a pretty reasonable thing to get emotional about, imo
we got the most progressive chair in over 50 years
I mean… that’s an extremely low bar to clear. And he wasn’t even the most progressive candidate running.
And I’d do it again!
I watched about half of it (which is all I could make time for since I have a ‘useless’ job of my own that limits my time). Maybe that wasn’t enough to understand the point, and if that’s true then my bad for posting a reactionary reply. Oops.
But, if the first half is a representative slice of the whole video, then I don’t think my response is unreasonable. To summarize, the guest runs a non-profit that aims to pay Ivy League grads who have high-prestige “bullshit” jobs to switch careers and go work for NGOs, charitable organizations, etc. (I’m actually a bit confused about this point because he says he wants to pay them, but also acknowledges multiple times that they’ll be taking a pay cut? Maybe he clears that up in the last half, I didn’t know.)
I didn’t go to an Ivy League college. I do have a soul-sucking bullshit job that I only keep because it pays my bills and allows me to support the people who depend on me. I suspect the vast, vast majority of people who interact with this content will either be in the same boat as me, or will be people of even less privilege. In either case, we’re the ones who are gonna be served this video, but we’re not the ones who would ever benefit from this plan. Do you wanna bribe Harvard grads to quit their job at McKinsey and go work for Habitat for Humanity instead? Cool. Great. But the millions of us who don’t have fancy diplomas and six-figure jobs — the people this content is served to — get to continue slaving away and dying inside a little more each day while the most privileged people in our society get to be taken care of while also being given the moral highground? Forgive me, but I don’t really see what problem this is solving. This feels like a vanity project to make rich tech bros and lawyers feel better about themselves while the system remains fundamentally broken and the same toxic incentives that created this corporate hellscape remain just as toxic and just as incentivizing as ever.
Anyway, for people like me, the moralizing title of the video is really frustrating. Yeah, I would quit if I could, man… but who’s gonna be responsible for what happens when I do? Not the guy in the video, that’s for sure.
Cool, yeah. While I’m at it, I can get rid of my useless house and stop eating all this useless food. Thank God I don’t have any useless kids — that’ll save me a ton of trouble having to get rid of them too.
Fake news, his hands are way too big
At least Jim Jones was heavily involved in charity work before the whole, uh… cult-of-personality murder-suicide stuff. Trump’s never done a charitable thing in his life.
True, but revolvers also don’t litter the ground with shell casings that could be used against you as evidence when you have to defend yourself against, just as completely random examples, a healthcare CEO or oil exec.
No, we’d rather be lost at sea than have to participate in the broken society that makes people need therapy.
