Very cringe but we’re selling Messi short by merely defining him as the best footballer ever, he belongs in a similar pantheon as Beethoven Picasso, Tesla, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, the guy is a genius an extraterrestrial
Full grown adults that can’t swim, cycle, skate, backpack, take a gap year, vacation, play an instrument or speak multiple foreign languages. Just a lifetime of hustling and trying to leave survival mode. These are subtle poverty metrics that no one really talks about

The problem with capitalism is that if you aren't born into wealth, your only capital is your labor. So automatically, your human body, is now a commodity that you must sell,and if you can't sell it for enough,you won't be able to care for it and will lose your capital.
39 with his body declining, fighting a smear campaign and his father on deaths door. These are all conditions for a disastrous world cup yet he delivered one of the greatest spectacles we’ve ever seen with 8 goals and another final. It’s crazy.

Game theory explains why working harder inside a broken system is the worst response to that system. Because a system is never truly broken. It's just producing exactly the outcomes its own incentive structures were designed to produce, whether intentional or not. Working harder inside this system increases your output in the payoff matrix, but it simply won't change the actual structure of the system's matrix. Thus, the correct response is not more effort. Instead, you must aim to identify whose interests the current structure serves and position yourself in favor of those interests rather than against them. Change the game, or play the game that is actually being played. Either way, you must stop optimizing for the game you wish it to be and start acting realistically.
