> who have experienced little to no suffering in life
Money is basically coupons that let you tell someone else to do something instead of you doing it.
Is all suffering in life removable by telling other people to do things? I don’t think so. Certainly some things, but probably not even a majority, let alone all.
In fact I think a common pattern is where someone chases money for years, gets it, and then realizes it doesn’t actually solve most of their problems.
- ipython 2y agoI didn’t say money didn’t remove their suffering, only that they managed to become fabulously wealthy without encountering any suffering along the way, mostly cause they’re so young when they become wealthy.
- pfannkuchen 2y agoThe words you are saying here are qualitatively different from the words you said in your original post. Like there are no explicit (i.e. directly stated by the words and not implied) contradictions between the two, but it just squeaks by on that account and there are implied contradictions.
