  • To some degree, yes. But its also a direct product of the systems starting point as well. Arguably, not changing anything is the best thing to keep the system in their favor for as long as possible.

    What I’d argue is the “decision” they individually make, is to what degree they allow the suffering caused by their actions to be actually linked to them in the public eye. You have people like elon who are on the extreme end of unapologetic assholery, and then there are the people of equal or greater wealth who we cannot even name. I think that’s the core decision that the ultra wealthy make that affects society the most. Loud out and proud makes for a very clear and, to some degree understood, target for everything from legislation to pitchforks and torches. Quiet and Guarded makes for less “fun” and likely drives some of the large losses in wealth (chasing the big number for its brain feels gets increasingly risky).

    I could go on and on about my amatuer class theory, but I’ll spare the rest. While all of this is important to consider at times of great change, I’d like to point out that I don’t find this aspect of examining class warfare to be helpful without the will and leadership to enact change.


  • I think this and similar ideas were more of an post-implementation discovery that now drives refused change of said systems. The idea that some grand plan has been in effect from any starting point is where absurdity is introduced.

    The wealthy, ie the powerful, cannot even agree within their circle on much, and the entire personality that reaches said level isn’t known for thorough meticulous loyalty to a group plan.







  • This is why I have to overcome my phone call anxiety and inform anyone that I can’t even acknowledge a notification on my phone without risking forgetting, and they need to call me if they want any kind of timely response. And since I’m currently unmedicated I force myself to just not acknowledge/dismiss/click on any notifications until I know for sure that I’m prepared to take the time it takes me to respond to something.


  • Which is a real doozy when you think about the duplicity it is to no longer allow a convicted citizen the right to vote, which is so strongly held by some people on all sides, almost evenly I’d say.

    How it must feel, to be so cool to allow yourself the privilege of not participating, just like the criminals politics generates. 😎

    Football Jerseys from a bygone era on Saturdays isn’t the only indicator that someone never really grew beyond highschool.



  • Hey.

    You know what?

    The only use those types of thoughts have in anyone’s life, is to remind you of something you value completing.

    Thats it. Once you’ve had the thought, let the next thought follow just be - Yup.

    Maybe you do it, maybe not. But putting that pressure on yourself isn’t serving the purpose of doing that thing, in fact, it almost always does the opposite.

    So yes, Ideally, we’d have no motivation other than feeling the need to do a thing simply because its what need to do.

    But its not like that, for anyone. Stop being so expectant of yourself, and instead just expect that kind of thought to come up, and then wave at it, and let it pass on by.
