>>103161275>>103162277I'm not gonna lie, this shit fucking burns and torments my soul. I spent close to a decade grinding for a pittance in engineering to try and develop technologies with the goal of helping people live in more sustainable, ecologically-friendly ways, and I've got almost nothing to show for it. Meanwhile, this sort of stuff gets pushed to stardom and radical levels of success. I know my choices were never gonna be big bucks, but seeing this value system not only in action everywhere, but also praised and rewarded, fucking hurts. What a fucked up species we are.
I guess I'm the fool for thinking so optimistically. Life's neither a race, nor a competition, but goddamn does our culture do a phenomenal job of making it feel like one. Hopefully one day I'll finally achieve the spiritual and emotional maturity to not get so jealous over things like this.
