Late-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
