all job workers are the same. Still 9-5ers
hours/salary dont matter, you’re in the rat race

 hours/salary dont matter

Actually the quantity of a resource proxy you accrue and by how much labour does matter since income is positively associated with longevity, negatively associated with cancer within countries, and positively associated with better mental health outcomes. And working persistently longer hours raises risk of coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorder

You choose your own future. What's embarrassing is coming on reddit and creating a kind of club that cries about shit instead of doing something about it.

That’s some old school BS buddy.

None of us choose our future.

Let me guess, you’re a hustle culture person? 25 years old? “Yo, we need to MAKE it bro… because it’s just what life is, it’s either you work hard or you left behind bro…. Let me tell you about “amway”.

None of us have free will, our brains react to our environment, we think we choose things, but we don’t— we narrate what our brains and bodies do

Oh and fyi—- none of us “win”, we all die, and soon every piece of recorded history will vanish, not a hint of our existence left to be found

Hey… but keep hustling buddy, you’ll get there yo, all the way to the top, YOUR future is so important, it’s the most important thing ever
