@pittybitty I could not believe those numbers either. The average Millennial salary is about $47,034, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The Milenial generation seems to be the most liberal and egoistic generation. What do you need 500K USD for? It is crazy that Americans are so obsessed with money. Why is this the case? Other western countries are also free-market economies with marketing and social media. Why are Americans so materialistic? Money beyond actual need is certainly overvalued. So many people are willing to sacrifice spare time and health for fiat money. It seems hard to understand.
Put yourself on fire for peak energy metabolism.
Ignore, judge, overcommit.

I cannot help to think that Norwegians must live better lives than Americans.
That's basic knowledge. Socialism works very well to relieve suffering, even in a diluted form.

@CO3 I think better genetics and cultural homogeneity are more important factors than socialism. USA is a socialist country too.
America has no surviving intellectual tradition besides progressivism — which is no more than a synonym for communism… Communism is as American as apple pie, and America today is a completely communist country -

Curtis Yarvin.HAHAHAH you are so blatantly retarded

@CO3 This is your most mature and sophisticated argument yet. The truth is that America redistributes heavily from good to bad people (socialism). America would have been improved more by having Norway's gene pool and homogenous culture, than any change in economic policies could bring about. America was better before they got a welfare state.

They're just instinctively pessimistic about the continual erosion of price discovery.

The wheels came off because the west empowered the corporate by personifying legal instruments. Power has been concentrating and compounding ever since, in hands that don't actually exist. And with supranational institutions and legal structures, entire nations became pawns in a big game.
No one can understand what's happening without reading the statute book in their country and coming to know the law. That's a reading that would need to be focused on one area or another. For the book will be too long for an individual to read, let alone interpret in a lifetime. How convenient.

@CO3 While you're stealing time from the employer not working and getting paid, take advantage of the opportunity to read books on the job. And if you're illiterate, as most people are, at least listen to something to try to learn and better yourself, if you're on company time performing a meaningless job.

Sleep deprivation is another big thing. If you have any sleep trouble at all (and most hypometabolic people do) a standard Mon-Fri 9-5 (especially if it's actually 8-4 or worse) schedule will wreck your health, not to mention you will be basically stoned 24/7 without the enjoyable parts but with all the negative effects on life.
I have been kind-of promoted at work, which means that instead of doing four 11-9 weekly shifts of a simple, repetitive menial job I'm supposed to perform complex mental work starting at 7 AM, five days a week. I'm already having thoughts of suicide/approaching the Russian embassy and asking for asylum/moving to a Western country to become a welfare leech after a month of this even though I make much more money than before.
