I think it's perverse that I'm going to spend the rest of my life in a global competition with every other human to survive

It's hard enough to survive but in our world you have to do survive while everyone else is incentivised to take money from you

Life shouldn't just be about efficiencies it should be about things that make us human, sharing and community used to be a big part of that

Like we're geared up for taking but not giving - like petting my dog in the global competition I'm incentivised to give him up he costs me time and money I could be grinding the next facebook

There should be a point of abundance where we reflect on what the point of all this competition is

Because I predict in the end it will be one guy with all money and everyone else in desperation

It's funny/sad that some people have so much capital they could live in absolute abundance, they could light up the lives of an entire country but they're the most robotic and desperate of all of us

As things are at the moment they're our future until we can imagine a world where everyday is not a slow decline into the end stages of a monopoly game
