32 year old OMEGA NEET here. I've had a semi-interesting life so far. Became somewhat successful in my niche yet very popular industry, then proceeded to bomb my next project, faced public humiliation and fell into a deep depression. Found crypto in 2017 and made about 3 million after all was said and done using money I borrowed from my parents. I am now attempting to get back my confidence and pursue my dream career again.

I've had almost a 6 year period of not working. 3 of those were spent living in a shit hole 180 sqft studio living off meager savings and asking my parents for money at certain points, 3.5 of those were spent being hilariously rich. I've travelled the entire world, engaged with high end escorts and porn stars, eaten the best food money can buy, and generally just thought about life while doing whatever I wanted.

Are we doomed as a society from an economic/productivity stand point? No one, including myself, wants to wage cuck anymore. Blame the internet, blame youtube/IG influencers who peddle literal "baller lifestyle" as their product and sell you nothing but jealously, blame access to information... whatever it is, the result is that no one wants to wage cuck anymore. We all have ONE life, most likely, and we don't know what lies beyond, and to spend that life wage cucking, whether at Wendy's or at a corporate job making 150k/year, is just NOT what people want anymore.

I view crypto as a metric of how much people DO NOT want to work, nothing more. Crypto at face value is fucking retarded. It's literally nothing but a giant ponzi scheme on a global scale (genius, actually), and most people I know who've gotten rich off it (the ones who told me to buy in) all took their money out of crypto and put it into legit investments and real estate. It's simply a vehicle to increase your money through encouraging others to buy in at a higher price. People are willing to buy into bitcoin at 12k not because they believe, but because they HATE working and dream of being rich. It's not an investment, it's a hedge against their unhappiness. I mean really, after being in crypto for a while I fully understand how gay and retarded it is. In the real world, you want financial protections, you want insurance, you want the benefits of holding money with a bank in regards to conducting business, etc etc. Now that I actually have some money, I understand why banks are fucking awesome. They cater to the rich.

Society needed a sort of "blindness" to how rich and successful people lived. The average person can't withstand the amount of triggering they face everyday through social media, even if they won't admit it. All you see is young beautiful millionaires doing awesome shit and maxing out their happiness. We've started fully commoditizing things like "youth" and "happiness" in extremely abstract forums.

What the fuck is going to happen? What is going to happen when people understand, on a level never seen before in society, that they are literal office serfs who are throwing away their one life so their boss can live a baller instagram worthy life? Will we even be able to function anymore? I suspect the social/political decay we're witnessing is the initial manifestation of people not wanting to work anymore. People are just sick of it. If society is to survive, we need some massive fucking blue pills for people to swallow.

>The average person can't withstand the amount of triggering they face everyday through social media, even if they won't admit it.
This resonates with me. Social media is awful for your mental health. What you don't know can't hurt you, but now it's really easy to be bombarded by people projecting these great lives, showing you all these things that you don't have, or haven't been able to experience. I don't even go on FB/Instagram anymore because scrolling through it makes me want to blow my brains out sometimes when I see where my peers are relative to me. Yea people will say "oh they're just posting cherrypicked good things" but they still get to post 4-5 cherry picked good things a month compared to my 0. Couple this with the fact that our society has led to parents coddling their kids, telling you that they can do anything they want, and then they grow up and realize that was a fucking lie. Most people have to end up settling with a job they don't enjoy, where they work for 40-50 years to maybe have the chance to retire and finally "enjoy" life when their youth has faded, and their bodies are battered and broken.

The only way to escape this reality is to either be born into wealth, or to work extremely hard and hope you get lucky. There's also a chance that you find a job which you genuinely enjoy regardless of the pay, but I think that is extremely unlikely for most.

People will tell you to just suck it up and deal with it, but that argument isn't very persuasive to me. I never asked to be born on this rock. I don't know why I should tolerate a shitty existence just because most people are willing to. At the same time, I feel shitty thinking like this, since so many people are born into far worse situations than I was.

It's not even that the people are only showing their best sides, teams of young attractive people are being sponsored. You know how you see these hot teenagers in professional make up and posh clothing? Who somehow all live together in giant mansions in LA? It's because companies sponsor them and build their careers. These influencers get repped by CAA and WME just like movie stars, but instead of making art they are design to make you jealous and unhappy with your own life, which is how they can shovel products down your face.

Same. Ever since I cut myself off social media and focused simply on myself and a few close friends and family, it's amazing how quickly I was able to about face my entire existence. It ironically turned me onto getting my finances in perfect order, and through some mistakes I see exactly what each different financial vehicle is good for: crypto is to get the money you use to invest in the stock market to make you less reliant on work. If you dedicate yourself like a madman it can be achieved earlier than expected. Pick a few actual good crypto projects (LINK, though I missed it), take that money and stuff it into good dividend stocks and others that have great growth potential, and even get some metals in case of a collapse or as a way to pass down your wealth to your kids without the (((estate tax))) being levied on them.

It may take you into your 40's to get there, but much better than your 60's when you're completely unable to enjoy yourself for any meaningful amount of time. Just keep your eyes on the prize.

Good thread, OP, especially about crypto being the ultimate ponzi and hope of escape. Though I think you overestimate that youthful spirit of wanting to be free (as in being influenced by all the social media influences).

>the demand for cities is mostly due to the presence of jobs
Yes because people want to work in higher paying jobs to afford a better standard of living.

The fact that people of the same species are all smart enough to create the technology we all enjoy and land on the moon and create the internet and start millions of business under no promise of success just so they have a chance of hopefully making someone else's life easier and as a result improve their own life through voluntary exchange requires incredible amounts of brainpower and smart thinking to pull off. People are smarter than you think. Stupid exceptions are not the rule. No government or you should be the arbiter of truth for someone else. It should be their freedom to choose to listen or not because you might be wrong or deceiving them. It wouldn't be the first time a government didn't have their citizens best interest in mind while certain people welcomed bad policy.

>entire families had to work including children barely to exist but they didn't had much of a choice because there was no work for them in rural areas
So they chose to work in the city when they could have just moved to rural areas and lived off of the land. They must have thought the city was better. Poor people in the city just didn't have jobs because they were lazy/disabled. People with jobs were making enough to move out.
