Boom and Bust

I can relate, I have down days I rarely move from my chair or bed. It’s a lot of hustle right now just to stay alive too, working and earning just enough, not enough often I have to economize.

I guess I go back to my somebody else’s problem theory, it’s how I stopped getting angry about things and instead sad. Could it be somebody else’s problem? Could the action be fobbed off on someone else? If so, by all means, geez no one paying me to make waves.

Better compensation is the answer, of course. Not just money, time and effort. If we’ve made these massive advances in productivity, why are we treating people worse than before?

so I’m saying it’s a mankind problem. We’re all underpaid, post trauma abuse and low self esteem. As a species.

So when you typify, when you represent what people are the most ashamed of in themselves? That’s our lot.

back to what I said earlier about value, there’s no lack, it’s a devaluation on a massive scale. So that a person of value is now a burden, because the economy is very short sighted?

I might be useless, I’m no burden. When the rest of the species remembers that humans matter, I’ll be quite useful. You’ll probably be too. It’s a manic dream at this point, but even manic dreams are better than nothing.

I have historical backing for it though. Humans don’t tend to succeed, long term with restricting other humans. It tends to be a losing adaptation. Which is why this is very much Evolution’s problem. The worst behavior is briefly beneficial, sociologically this is absurd that it should be this close to winning.

That needs to be selected out. It’s a failure of economics too, because economics is intended to well distribute scarce resources……. we aren’t at the worst point in recorded history, but the worst we’ve ever been on purpose. We never said yes to a pandemic before.
