this but not true but either way this is the solution. you just do it until you get better. same with anything. same with writing, same with vidya. this is the answer to all your problems. Advice on this thing I'm doing? Just keep fucking doing it, you'll get better. It's not hard to believe, that when you keep doing something, you'll also get better at it. Right? Then why are there so many posts like this one. Just do it. Do the thing, keep doing the thing, eventually after doing the thing you'll get better at the thing. Whether you like it or not, this is what happens over time as you do a thing. Learning is just a form of optimization, and this is fucking the whole fucking point of your brain. Do something and watch yourself get better at it as you do it

i came into this thread to make fun of you and wave the "sunk cost fallacy" in your face but
>now im a believer
>666 trips
why do 666 trips always happen on the most mystical posts? jung would call this synchronicity. they always come at the right time...

>t.
Platonic scum are worse than jews. Well, at the end, they are the same.

Any literature on why men only talk about their interests and women only talk about themselves?

Is this meme finally dead? What happened?

Now that the dust has settled and we had time to read this man.

Based or Cringe?

When did you first realized that Guenon isn't a philosopher but a poor political commentator?

>Wages are extremely high but mostly at the mean. The median tells a different story.
What are you even suggesting here? Wages are extremely high, relative to every other country. The median tells the same exact story (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income).).

>Most Americans have boatloads of debt
Sure, this is my point. Not all debt is bad. If you have credit card debt, that sucks but not evidence that Americans are fucked just because some people make bad decisions (and the law allows it). If you have student loan debt, then it was unequivocally a worthwhile investment unless you dropped out. If you have a mortgage, or other "investment" debt, then you're living the American Dream.

>It’s pretty close to winner take all here.
It's "winner take all" anywhere that capitalism touches. Money is a positive feedback loop, etc. That's the very nature of it. I think you forgot your own argument.
>Even across the highest earning majors, the distribution is mostly bimodal. The bottom 50% get next to no benefit at all.
Again, you forgot your argument. Where doesn't this occur? Are you about to go on some Marxist rant? Across essentially all majors, you 1.5-2x your income with a degree. It's 100% worth it, even if you aren't STEM.

>Also, doubling wages, if you even get that, sounds good on paper but your net worth is still garbage until you’re like 35 at the youngest
Again, where isn't this the case? Which country is everybody rich in their 20s? Doubling wages is good period, not just on paper. If you make $60k a year and live paycheck to paycheck, you're not poor. You're broke. There's a massive difference, as you know, if you've ever actually experienced both. One allows insane amounts of wiggle room and netting, the other doesn't.

>you’re trapped in a job and place you might not even want with no wiggle room or way to escape
This just sounds like projection. Says who? Unless you have a mortgage; if you have a college degree, you have all the opportunity in the world to move elsewhere. Renting is cheap and quite simple, just don't expect to get your deposits back.
