Creativity should be thought of more as a reward for doing your homework and required reading. It's earned through the mastery of fundamentals and the synthesis of disparate fields. It's not an innate power you have as a Westerner because your factories got offshored in the 70s.
@Logo_Daedalus people will claim Xi’s degree is fraudulent. even if it somehow is, it still says something about the type of society China is, one that values engineers, hard sciences, rigorous credentials instead of hucksters
The real NEETs are American soldiers getting paid scammer wages in a social democratic subsidized housing blocs where they mostly jack off & play video games in between bouts of pointlessly torturing each other. Truly the most bizarre thing about our society is that the Military is just America’s form of theocracy— reddit “big science” theocracy wherein UFO demons provide magick weapons to epic bacon thor punisher guys. It’s military base hooters as theocracy— a society of “rugged mystics” new age tattoos wife swapping homoeroticism & hoo rah. Everything about the military is so relentlessly gay in the literal & schoolyard bullying sense. Just look at the casualties in the Iran war; discord moderators & reddit power users. Furry technocracy. Pervert empire.
Every missile that falls is money that could have been invested in any other way. It is a great expression of pure expenditure of excess production. It is world historical sabotage. It is anti-production, an entirely counterproductive action. The Antichrist Empire.

Getting married and having kids is cool because if all goes according to plan you love everyone involved so much that it’s one of the best motivations to become a better person -
This is obviously not possible in all industries––self-driven, meetings-light, laptop-work industries lend themselves to flexibility. But I wish the left understood that this is what many conservatives are after: Work flexibility for women in the labor-intensive young-kids stage, which allows women to stay in the workforce longer term versus dropping out, which ends up sometimes serving these companies *better* in the long-run if they want to retain Lady Talent.
@Horny4Ryobi Ya, tho it’s humbling to realize that what you saw as “default life” is actually the result of tons of sustained love and effort and hard work which you didn’t necessarily appreciate before
