It genuinely blows my mind that people actually get existential fulfillment from advancing their careers. Seems like npc behavior. Even as a man at no point in my 24 years of life have I thought "i wish I was CEO of ACME Paper Co."

What did your childhood brainwashing end up turning you in to?

>>82202170 (OP)
it's people who are glad they're making their boss a lot of money
or people who want to be above others and treat them like bugs for their enjoyment

>>82202218
True. In the end its all just monkey instincts

>>82202170 (OP)
Not every career is the same. Some people are working in fields they have a passion for, and are actually achieving things in that career which are groundbreaking and innovative for said field of passion. It makes sense that a retard who has spent their life as a NEET in their mom's basement would have no understanding of how life/the world actually works, though. Everything you know about careers and work comes from other useless retards on the internet who are also trying to cope with the awareness that they're useless retards.

As you advance in your career, you do make more money yes, but you also place yourself in a position of power. That power means you have a role in decision making, and likewise have a role in the direction in which you can advance that innovation I mentioned previously. You have a goal and direction in life, and you are actively participating in human advancement as a whole, not just your own advancement.

>>82202320
I guess that makes sense. Idk. You're not wrong about me being retarded and childlike. Problem is I don't really have passions. If I ever decided to do anything I'd go to grad school for math (I enjoy it because of the autism.) Idk if I ever wanted power though. I find decisions stressful and dont like making them. At my retail job im comfortable taking orders.

>>82202320
>NPC cope
The only kind of people thriving in modern world are kike bootlicker NPCs and whores with their bs job. Nothing noteworthy has been achieved in the last 2 decades. Academia is also plagued with fabricated research papers let alone the fraud in other sectors.

It's mainly that you're making more money, which brings less stress ideally.

You just arent allowed to work a real job. Most people arent. The conditions necessary to produce a candidate who does meaningful work is very rare. So thats why the world looks like this, the body is too easily damaged and the brain isnt intelligent enough to care for itself. But still, the world exists. Lots of people asking why and how. With no answers to be found, we must simply play world of Warcraft or RuneScape and wait for it to be over. Surely somebody out there, some type of divine power and authority has noticed our realm of extreme pain and suffering by now. And can do something about it. Youd have to be the biggest dick ever to not close this place down. There is actually like almost no excuse whatsoever for this realities continued existence. Like imagine how hard youd laugh, if you had access to the means of complete destruction of the world, and didnt do it. Thats like maniac tier.

>>82202419
You made a good counterargument anon. I'll take a middle position: I get it if your job is actually important, but most people's jobs are fake.

>>82202365
Everyone is different. If you are happy and content just being a cog in the machine, that is fine, these people still have their value. Getting fulfillment from that is a different story, I wouldn't but I'm also not that kind of person. Pursue math then, there is still much to be discovered and refined. That is where this fulfillment comes from, it's the pursuit and the participation in something grander and wonderful.

>>82202419
This whole post is just so out of touch and retarded that I'm not even gonna bother putting effort into an appropriate response. You sound like a teenager. It is just so fucking obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. This place is like a cleanex box of retards who spent their life on a computer trying to cope with the fact that they're useless worms. Carry on then.

>>82202459
>no argument
You can cope all you want nigger. I don't gives a fuck about gay fake ass job Lumbert. I'm studying for a ME degree that will allow me to mass produce weapons and drones that will bomb you subhuman NPCs to pieces one day. You are part of the system and the enemy of the people.

>>82202535
Yeah you're definitely an edgy teenager. Keep following your ridiculous and retarded dreams, kid.

>>82202419
>Academia is also plagued with fabricated research papers let alone the fraud in other sectors.
Absolute retard

>>82202459
Yeah idk maybe im low t but I was never ambitious in the career sense. I mostly just to chill. Math is cool though. That's one of the few things I would actually want to go try hard on. I have a bachelor's in it but I didn't learn much because I had a mental breakdown during the second half

>>82202558
shouldn't you wait for peer reviews before reading the posts here, faggot?

>>82202170 (OP)
If you weren't retarded you'd realize that accumulating capital is your primary goal no matter what objective you are trying to accomplish long term

>>82202558
>t.fraud jeet so.yentist

>>82202615
this nigga finds meaning in worldly pleasures :Skull:

>>82202428
But it almost never works that way. You make more money but it almost always comes at the cost of more work and responsibilities being expected from you. My manager makes probably twice my wage but she regularly works 10h a day and sometimes sends emails at 1am, while I work a fixed 40h a week and nobody expects anything from me outside work hours.
She is literally never free and I've seen her appearing "in a meeting" while knowing that she's on vacation in another country. I could never live like that and never will. I already make comfortable money and I save/invest a lot of it because I'm not that much of a consoomer. I'd rather make half her wage and have a life outside work.

And the alternative is bein a kike bootlicker whore who doesnt get to exert change or enjoy life via wealth. You think you're making a difference by being unemployed?

I can tell 4chan is really your entire life

>>82202558
He is retarded but he is not wrong on that count

KEK. Seethe and cope you fucking fraud.

>>82202676
Wow you even went and edited it. What a sad little creature you are. If I was that pathetic I would have killed myself already. The absolute state lol

>>82202646
There is a difference between being wealth chasing kike slave and pursuing knowledge for freedom, goyim.

>>82202630
Not really

I want to shape the future of my family and reproduce for which I need money, yes, but I also believe in exerting a degree of control over the world around us through many avenues, from simple things such as art or the way we carry ourselves, to direct measures, the political/social change we bring about. Not only do you use money for achieving simpler objectives, you are literally unable to effectively influence many aspects of your surroundings without being extremely wealthy.

>>82202697
You're the only non-retard in this thread

>>82202693
>anyone disagrees with me is a samefag
Mindbroken midwit

>>82202694
If your goal was to pursue knowledge for freedom, would wealth not make that process simpler? Would wealth not enable you to propagate that knowledge among your peers and to you children?

You are much too individualistic. What's all that knowledge worth if you takd it with yourself to the grave!

>>82202697
this nigga attaches himself to the impermanent :Skull:

>>82202720
You are a kike. Kys. I don't want to live with shitskins, bugs and niggers. I don't want to work 9 to 5 and barely able to afford rent and never being able to buy a house. I don't want to live in a degenerated world where money triumph above all else. I don't want to settle with a worthless gold digger roastie that will divorce rape me. I will kill all of you kikes, that's why i pursue knowledge.

>>82202769
Yeah and what knowledge have you pursued and how do you use it

>>82202697
>reproduce
You're never going to be wealthy then. The only people I know who reproduced and aren't poor work in higher management or run successful businesses. Raising a child to 18 in the US costs around ~250k. It's not much cheaper elsewhere either. I'm also following your "acquire currency" mindset, but it's through living minimalistically and saving/investing most of what I make. I'm on track to retire in my early 40s, but none of that would be even remotely possible if I was planning to reproduce. A good part of my plan relies on what I'm going to inherit from my parents. If I had to buy my own place and spend an extra ~200k raising one child, I'd be looking at $1m bare minimum to be comfortably rich. And with how scummy mortgages are these days, I'd be giving back twice the amount I took.
Unless you make a very high wage, reproduction is going to condemn you to a life of living paycheck-to-paycheck and constantly working till you're 70. And that's without considering the many things you become vulnerable to once you marry and have kids.

>>82202782
That's none of your business, kike. You just need to know that violence is the answer to every problem.

>>82202802
So you know nothing and have no practical applications since you dont actually know or produce anything of value. Cool

>>82202837
Yea something along the line of slitting the throat of your little kike and kikess in front of you before burning you with their lifeless bodies in an oven. Something like that, gotta start small.

>>82202697
>and reproduce
Hopefully that never happens

>>82202863
Youre too scared to even go outside so how would you ever be able to achieve the shit you larp about?

>>82202875
Yea, when the time come, i will march in the army of the people.
