    It makes you bad at art and inventing tho. The liar plays a shallow game.

    It says grim things that by playing the shallow game you can succeed in our society. I blame the rule of law. It was basically designed to be gamed.

    Say what you will about dictators, at least they’re human.

      You take the Edison route of stealing from people like Tesla. One goes down as a famous inventor and the other dies broke and alone other than his pigeons.

      And yes, the system is made for people to be pieces of shit because it was created by pieces of shit.

        The system could also be described as an abstraction of the same system that’s existed for millions of years. Domination by the powerful, exploitation of the weak, etc. Not so much evil as brutish.

              Modern wage slaves are not far removed from royalty having an imbalance of power. It’s common to refer to our current “work to live or die” society as slavery with extra steps because many are forced to spend their time doing things that benefit their bosses more than themselves

                I suppose slavery is an abstract form of being eaten. It certainly “uses every part of the animal” better than just chomping it up.
