In a discussion with my brother he said cooking for yourself or a family is archaic and obsolete, and civilization grows from specialization, and he can earn more money with the time and energy he saves by eating out than he could save by cooking, so he never learned to
What do you think?

home cooking is very enjoyable, I gladly spend my time, energy and money into it.

Specialization is for insects. If you can't cook, eventually you won't eat.

The opportunity cost of cooking is far lower than the time you spend eating at a restaurant, which takes longer to make your meal than you would at home and at a far greater total cost to you

You could extend this satanic mindset to a lot of other things. Why waste time showering? You need to be GRINDING, homie. Showering never made anyone any money. PAY someone to shower you, WHILE YOU HUSTLE, bro. Wiping your ass? No time. I'm on my grind.

of course you have to be able to make a lot of money to make it worth it when it comes to opportunity costs, but it is possible for it to be viable

Is your brother actively earning money during the time he waits for restaurants to make his food when he could be making it himself? No? Then hes just justifying his laziness with hustler grindset nonsense
If anything he's losing money by paying the restaurant premium and buying gas to drive there & back, or even worse paying the delivery premium

if you just want food, then yah your brother is right.
Plenty of wealthy folks cook at home because they want better control over what they are putting in their bodies or it just makes them feel good to take a creation from raw ingredients to a finished product.

cooking is a better use of one's free time than most "leisure" activities.

>> No.18853093

>>18853067
He'll be partaking of activities that contribute to his earning potential without having an immediate income reward, such as acquiring knowledge or reviewing his investment position. Cooking only wastes time that can be used effectively.

you can't buy a actually-healthy meals unless you have a personal chef

being hands-on with your food also makes a difference in what you eat. Poor women who cook live longer than rich women who don't.

>> No.18853152

>>18852426
Well if his time is really that financially valuable and he takes no leisure from cooking then I don't see a problem. Personally I enjoy cooking in my free time and I definitely don't earn enough that paying for a meal at a restaurant is worth the 30 minutes it would take to cook that meal.

does he actually spend that time in a profitable way, or does he work 40 hours and just sit at home watching tv? I'm enriching myself with audiobooks and linguistics podcasts when i cook

as a student, it's actually demoralizing when i visit "successful" people cloistered in the suburbs and see how empty their typical day is

Listening to podcasts while doing something else is a great way to derive little from the podcasts. Multitasking is just doing lots of things badly.

There is no satisfaction in making a ready meal or in eating out. The first time you make a beef wellington or a really good risotto, is a good feeling. I’m not a professional and I came here to shitpost, but I’ve been inspired to cook more difficult recipes by lurking on /ck/.

It is archaic and obsolete. So is fine dining. That's why I eat burger for breakfast at MacD and pizza at noon.

I don't have any money left for supper but that'll soon be solved.
