Among the proletariat today, there's widespread apathy, drug abuse, escapism, and desperation. Among the ruling class, the kind of disconnect where they actually believe paying for tranny's medical procedures is a pressing issue. We live in a post scarcity world, driven forward by a nearly suicidal work ethic. Give me one good reason not to drop out, get a minimum wage job as a stagehand at my local opera house, and spend my free time watching Yale lectures on a big screen projector (which can be bought pretty cheaply and used to turn entire walls into an engrossing aesthetic experience).
