Kinda feel like you’re putting those in the wrong order.
- hiddencost 3y agoNope
- pc86 3y agoOh great point, you've convinced us :) Why is it a foregone conclusion that these things are only occurring in one direction? What evidence is there to support that (or not)?
- WrongAssumption 3y agoWhy didn’t you respond like this to the other comment? They gave no reasoning on order, so why should this person? And why did only this one elicit a response from you?
- hmmmcurious1 3y agoThere has never been such a pressure to succeed and appear rich as it is today. Social media is at the forefront of this by weaponizing insecurity and keeping up with the joneses. I'd wager a medieval serf had better peace of mind than 90% of people today
- brk 3y ago'Weaponizing insecurity' I'm going to use that. Great summary.
- inference-lord 3y agoDon't worry, with generative AI, everyone's social media will look 10x more awesome and it will all be fake. Even wealthy people will take it to a new level.
- spacemadness 3y agoSocial media is already making the wealthy lose their minds. See Elon Musk.
- perrygeo 3y agoExactly this. In my experience, the desperate people with money problems tend to be gamblers. There's a distinctly unhealthy relationship with money that is directly caused by gambling. It distorts their world view to the point where they say shit like "I need to buy more lotto tickets because I need cash" or "today's the lucky day" as they head off to gamble rather than work. All said with a straight face. These people are sick and unwell and need professional care before they destroy their families' lives. It's a disease. Healthy people in similar or worse financial situations do not think or behave this way.
