Genuinely curious to understand your line of reasoning.
- Concretly what's the late-stage capitalism nightmare? How do you define it and what do you compare it against?
- What do you define what PG is concretely telling kids and how that's related to what you describe as capitalism nightmare.
Finally, would you care to share some examples of better scenarios that could inspire advice for 14-year olds?
- shafyy 3y agoLate-stage capitalism nightmare examples: * Inequality in societies is as large as ever, and inequality is one of the main predcitors how happy a society is * Influence of people and corporations with money on politics and society is unprecedented (i.e. lobbyism) * In the US, but also in many Western European "developed" countries, basic human rights like education, health, housing and food are fucked by capitalism PG is putting a big emphasis on getting rich and building your own company. Better advice for 14-year-olds would be, just off the top of my head: * Money is important, but it's not the most important thing * You are not your job or your company. Find something interesting to work for, but don't define yourself over it * Participating democray is important: Fight for a more equal society and help make your community better * Don't focus your education on one hard skill like computer science. Learn about arts, literature, philosophy and all other things that interest you
