Rather than vainly trying to escape, you should embrace it. I learned this from my brother who had an epiphany: our purpose in life as humans, is to pay bills.

Rather than vainly trying to escape, you should embrace it. I learned this from my brother who had an epiphany: our purpose in life as humans, is to pay bills.
Once you realize that, your soul is saved. No more worries, no more negativity, paying the bills is what defines you as human and makes you complete. The water, electricity company, car, pharma, doctors, education system ... all help you in realizing your purpose in life by charging you as many bills as possible. You should rejoice!

- uoaei 3y agoThis is the tragic irony of the whole thing: that to have any influence you must play the game, but playing the game mostly limits your choices to those which encourage and strengthen the conditions in which the game remains stable. It's really quite robust as a self-organizing system. It's hard to see a way out of this local minimum without some major, sudden, and total change in the social and cultural attitudes of the people involved.

Only 1 million sworn LEO in US including local, state, fed. No way police can pull together a door to door dragnet with those numbers and 3 guns per adult in US. I mean look at the Ulvad police and assume many are just like that. Pathetic. Gen Z seems aware it’s all political chicanery so unless the rural nutters blow stuff up, GZ and Millennials could leverage their 170 million strong to steamroll over 50 million GenX via politics.
