All you gotta do is pedal hard enough to break the chain and ride straight up the wall.
You can make it if you just believe in yourself!
(although in reality that wall is 10 miles high)
You can make it if you just believe in yourself!
At some point one has to ask oneself not whether one can, but whether one should. Is it really worth it trying everything and giving your all for a company which will probably ditch you in the end, after all? I don’t think so. Don’t put in more effort than you expect to get as a result.
capitalism is great for capitalists, they live like gods
Completely true of the public-facing capitalists, who effectively serve as PR for their class.
they live like miserable gods preoccupied with escaping from reality
It’s because they realize something as they age: For all their wealth, they are still mortal, their physical bodies will decline, and their egotistical, narcissistic lifetime will ultimately amount to absolutely nothing as they rot in the ground and cease existing like everyone else.
Mortality puts things into perspective for those people because they’re driven by a philosophical imperative that’s borderline pathological in nature:
Donald Trump watched the video of himself almost getting headshot on repeat, 9 times a day. Some said it was PTSD, but that’s assuming a lot.
Elon Musk is quoted as saying in The Atlantic that he’s “rigged for war”.
Well, what war? War against who? Against what?
"Escaping from the matrix seems like “a war against reality itself”.
We can only be so lucky that none of those fucks will ever attain apotheosis or immortality no matter how hard they try.
Maybe that’s why they’re so bent on destroying the planet – if they can’t have it, so can’t you.
It’s very hard to be a capitalist, you have to scam people and lie to get good deals
I took the RISK of investing in making workers build the unicycle profit scooper
now you have to use your own unicycle and smart phone app at the same time but you can’t use the smart phone while on the unicycle.
and while you must smile you are not allowed to sing.
