raise some kids

it's.. not enough

I'm personally going to pay a bunch of taxes to the American government and have them make programs that will ensure the destruction of my people. Only then will my life goals be achieved

what's not enough?

it's not enough for anything

for your future

you mean you have to do a lot of extreme sports and fuck 12 supermodels

for your childrens future

or you have failed?

for your soul

no

and live at the top of a skyscraper

that's not maximizing your ability for meaning

of doing the right things

obviously we're talking about good things here

not random shit to the extreme

so what will these people be giving up

concretely

the people who would do what I say?

yeah

it's not so much what you give up on, it's more about willingness

and reason

we would give up normal bugman life

<:Yes:639977935209627658>

for something higher and challenging

obviously, you could expand this shit a lot, but I think a core set of people are important

it's social acceptance

in terms of "meaningful things"

do you want to be accepted by these people?

if it's not living at the top of a skyscraper and fucking supermodels

so what you're saying is, they're not really giving up much

Life is struggle, and the more you struggle, the more meaningful your life will be.

no, it's doing the right things for the right reasons

giving it a good shot

what are the right things?

so people are deathly afraid of losing

something not very important

the things that leads to good things long term

is it really the fear that this is the wrong choice?

the wrong path?

what are good things
