How do you define richness from a bioenergetic point of view?
-
Richness is living in a plentiful environment. Plentiful in energy, plentiful in allies, plentiful in opportunities. This allows organisms to risk more and to live leisurely because even if they fail their environment will save them. They can exert much more energy without risk of death.
A poor environment means always having to overreact to threats because every threat can kills, being unable to build up reserves.
Competing for rich environments is the most foundational instinct of any biological being, always affecting every single cell in your body. Shrimps do it. Lizards do it. Birds do it. Humans do it.
Money itself is not part of being rich, but having money allows one to access such environments so it is sometimes a good proxy. (If you are brave enough to leave behind the hostile environment in which you earned it, which most wage-slaves aren't.)

i want money because otherwise i will have to work in a dank, damp warehouse for 10 hours a day until i get cancer and die
if i had a lot of money i would see cool places and do cool things i don't have the money or time to
stupid thread by upper middle class and coping neets with autism

@Ray-Van-Winkle You could see cool places and do cool things without having much money. You are the one coping. Moreover, most people need some kind of work to balance their lives. Only a few select people like myself are suited for luxury.

@Norwegian-Mugabe only N or R life would get worse if they had + 1 million dollars

@Ray-Van-Winkle There are studies on lottery winners and most do not end up better in any way shape or form. There are several good God-given reasons for why you are where you are. Amor Fati, retard.

@Norwegian-Mugabe i was calling you upper middle class, not neet with autism btw

@Ray-Van-Winkle All I am trying to convey is my endless love for my fellow beings. I think it is a mistake to think "if only I had more money my problems would be solved". This is learned helplessness. You can improve all the important aspects of your life dramatically without more money. The upper-middle class is generally not thriving either. They usually work more hours here in Norway and has poor health and suffer from atomisation. I am not saying that resources are inconsequential, but they are overhyped for the reasons I wrote about in my first post on this thread.

@Norwegian-Mugabe because you live in a country where the standard of living is pretty much the same for engineers and part-time fry cooks and the main reason to get a good job is high serotonin/learned helplessness
u already are rich from birth, if u lived somewhere shit you'd think different, like if you were forced to live on rice fried in canola oil with random plants mixed in
-
@Ray-Van-Winkle Yes I would have thought differently, but that does not mean that I would have been more right. This thread is also not about rice-pickers, but about regular westerners who want to live richly.

This is incredibly real. Low frequency people given money will still live in filth and squalor, and waste their fortune on trivial distractions.
The goal is to live a charmed life. The life you save could be your own.
