Some people are so poor, all they have is money.
yeah i can confirm. had an acquaintance years ago who earned like 20k€/month (which is a lot around here). he seemed very unhappy to me. he did coke every weekend, and was generally very unhappy with his life (at least that's what i suspect, my gut feeling).
I have rubbed elbows with some rich people. They all had very shallow lives.
Isn't that funny, you can have ANYTHING you want and you can't figure out what you want?
When you have that much money, you don't have friends.
You never know if they like you or your money and you're afraid it's the latter.
Most will give up just about anything for the lifestyle, but when it wears off. When you arent struggling and you've spend a few yeats traveling, yachting, sleeping around, buying everything you dreamed of. What's left?
This is the real issue. Their values systems are broken because you can literally do ANYTHING with that much money. Wanna become a world class athlete? So long as you're choosy with your definitions of both world class and athlete, you can hire people to teach you, hire chefs and nutritionists and doctors to plan every single thing that goes into you to make you good at your Thing.
Money is truly a superpower, but that superpower is reality warping. After you've created your fourth harem and played poker with Einstein, metaphorically speaking, what else could you want to do? It's part of why all these guys believe in some sort of apocalypse, space travel, AI God, or metaphysics - with money alone, they can basically shape their entire world to their whim, so you want something that you're still nominally able to ride out, but that will radically alter your reality so there's SOMETHING new you can experience.
Ever wonder why artists are always poor?
Money robs you of creativity, initiative, drive, passion, faith...you have no worries.
The secret to happiness is to acknowledge that it's transient and fleeting and not really an objective, but something we experience at times along the way.
Any achievement you can think of isn't the result of being happy, often quite the opposite.
humans: let's evolve to be really good at predicting. let's just evolve the ability to OBSESS over anything but present in the moment
how often are your predictions correct though?
more often than a paramecium so yeah id say doing pretty good
ngl I wouldn’t mind being sad if I was a billionaire with 12 yachts and a private yet
I would be so fucking sad if I had 12 yachts and a privafe jet, I'd have no choice to make friends and share them with
Personally, I'd rather be dumb, unaware, happy, & have somebody who loved me ensuring that all my needs were met.
As long as I have a stick
awwww that was adorable… it’s so sad humans can have loving peers, a good life and still feel empty; instead of receiving help sometimes they get ashamed about it
I can barely afford a stick but still sit on the left
pretty obviously it’s the one who can answer “yes” to “who’sagoodboy!?!?”
I would be happier than the dog if not for the fatal harms to my very essence, and well, not have 12 yachts.
I would try to start a whole-ass country
