> I consider wanting to be more productive very lame, like you’ve been cucked by the patriarchy and capitalism
This is a common sentiment in Los Angeles and abroad, but I can relate to everything this person is saying as a resident of Los Angeles. There is not a peer group here to make you ambitious, and it’s slowed down my productivity in comparison to when I was in NYC or SF.
But you can fix this, it’s all about speaking in LA lingo.
For example, I tell people “I’m motivated by abundance”, which is spiritual speak for “making money via unbridled capitalism”. And “the universe sent me an idea” instead of my own late stage capitalist actions, as this crowd doesn’t hold themselves accountable for their actions, but you can mold that to your own ends
You’d think it was insufferable, until you saw the women that this engagement farms
