What happened to the intrinsic value of a human being? Why is his value subject to his behaviour, when society is the one who forms said behaviour?

But that's the point. The idea of the intrinsic value that is universal to all human life implies that you are as valuable as everyone else, which is why you are in conflict with other "individuals" and have to compete with them for resources. From this perspective you are impersonal and interchangeable with everyone else. The counter-perspective is that of a localized, specific community in which your life has no intrinsic value but its value is determined by your sharing of the communal work.

Minimum wage could always be lower, it could even be nothing, or a debt. I think you should consider yourself lucky

Jesus Christ chill out. You're barely an adult. If I was you I'd save up money and travel. The US is huge if you live here, otherwise you can explore other countries which is super easy if you live in the UK/Europe.

Apply to a bunch of different jobs. Sure they're all gonna be entry level and you're going to have to eat shit for a few years, but at least you'll have a better idea of yourself and what career you're suited for.

Once you've done all this and saved up some cash, only then consider school if it's something in line with your goals. As humans we can't move unless we're motivated by something. It's just how we work. So you need to find that thing you're motivated by.

Good luck OP. I was in a similar position to you at 20, and I wish I had someone to tell me that it really isn't a big deal, you're still so young and you have so much time to explore and discover yourself.

Godspeed :)

What happened to the "intrinsic value" of a human being is the industrial revolution. Man lost his sense of the mystical and became a slave to science. No longer is our existence one with the night sky, instead we live a hollistic relationship with cold machinery that values us only as appendages.

How long has there been a minimum wage in human history? You are just a depressed faggot who needs to realize how good he has it instead of being a narcissist who deserves so much more (why??). Do you provide anything critical for anyone? Or are you just extra biomass who was sold a dream by consuming too much media? Even your OP pic indicates what's wrong with your brain

Same but I’m 23 and don’t even have a job.

My parents really pushed the “dont worry about going to school, just work and travel for a few years and get some (((life experience)))” meme. Now I’m in community college taking classes in mathematics and they keep trying to convince me to “don’t worry about graduating a specific program, just take whatever interests you and don’t worry about graduating or what youre going to do afterwards- most people take six years to finish university and youre still finding yourself”.

I love them but the advice they give is terrible. Just the other week they were trying to convince me to overload my courses and “don’t worry about grades or working or how youre going to transfer later on, the point of college is to try a lot of different things and learn time management”. I think they secretly want me to be dependent on them into my thirties.

You have to realise that the american economic boom that happened a few decades ago was due to the fact that many countries were trying to enter the market and develop themselves, either because they were behind in techonology, or because they had just came back from a war or dictartorship.
You have to realise that even in a utopic anarco or marxist regime the commune wouldnt treat lazy unproductive bastards that kindly aswell.

Feels amazing. You can get a job that pays >$20 an hour without a degree if you're smart and assertive. Most people are complacent idiots and you can step on them to get ahead.
