>And you didn't answer my question of who would be better off, the person who took the blackpill 10 years ago or the person who worked.
I did answer—both are equally fucked, but you could have made a good argument 10 years ago on normative solutions. The NEET of course could derive a sick pleasure from not having contributed anything to a system preparing to kill him.

>I feel forced to
let's unpack that

>you should want to work yourself into a position where you're not at the complete behest of the government/corporations.
when you wageslave that's what you're doing

>No, I'm not at all convinced of your doomposting
I'm beyond doom-posting. I'm all-bets-are-off-posting. My advice is for people to stop caring and do whatever they think is fun because caring is predicated on conditions at odds with obviously impending reality. Make all the right choices and die of vaccine-related heart because you exercised TOO hard. Make all the wrong choices and still get rich because you bought drugs on silkroad with bitcoin a decade ago. All bets are off.

My key point is don't pursue anything solely relying on a promised payout, moral, fiscal, or otherwise at the end. Modern life especially is too chaotic to base decisions on simplistic linear predictions. Definitely do not make assumptions about the future which are based on the existence of a high-trust population with a sense of shared destiny, this which has not existed for almost a century.
