Let me just close my eyes to write this so I don't have to feel oppressed by the world and I can actually think. You know what's disgusting about this chart? The very premise on which the ratings are based. The only thing that matters in this world is the applicability of a job to society and how much money it makes? If that's the only thing that really matters then this is a pretty shallow fucking life. Is that really the basis on which you can rate jobs for their worth? I think that seems like a pretty subjective rating, I couldn't imagine anyone but some vain sociopath thinking that money is literally the only important thing in this world.

Okay, now time for slightly unrated to the first part I wrote part two. I think that in an ideal world people wouldn't really have to work. There would only be some jobs that people could take turns doing because they're necessary, not make society's sole function and purpose for living to become consumers of goods and figure out what the best way to market and become a business man or work for some business. How could someone not see how shallow a purpose that is? I look at the industrial revolution as simply phase 1 to an automatic livelyhood for human beings. The next step will be to make everything automated so human beings won't really have to work, or simply implant the data students have to learn directly in their brains so they don't have to spend any time in school.

I wouldn't lie to you about this, I feel that my life has been robbed and I possibly have become inescapably apathetic towards our modern day existence from what I have been put through in our society. If you read through everything I just wrote and you still think that the be all end all virtue of everything is work, then I really have nothing to say to you because the well of rationality inside of my head has been depleted at this point and all that's left on the bottom is my anger and resent towards you and people like you. Except I'm not going to go there and end on some defensive insecure not like I see many people do who are upset at the world, although I do feel that way quite a bit. I feel horrible about the world I live in.

Sometimes I almost conflate being intelligent in a boring ass field like the ones in those charts with actually having "worth while" and "not worth while" sorts of intelligence. If I'm simply a retarded dumbass because I'm not smart in a higher field on that chart, then I guess I'm just thrown into some bizarre alternative universe, because that's fucking bullshit. Tbh the only things that interest me on that chart are in the shit tier and meh tier fields.
