Perhaps this is what Musk means when it says that empathy is bad.
If your goal is to maximise your own personal wealth, then empathy really is a hindrance. But I put to you that maximising money is not a goal worth devoting a lifetime to. And perhaps not scamming dumb people is a valuable way to act regardless.
(This is essentially what motivated the Quakers to push for set prices for goods rather than constant bartering. They believed that dump people should still be able to go to a shop and buy stuff without getting ripped off. I’d say that moral position has made the world a slightly better place.)
The Quakers are pretty based, to put it in a term they wouldn’t understand. They also are pacifists and don’t let priests tell them what God actually meant to say.
I am really about to throw my morality away and start grifting the FUCK out of these clowns.
5G defense necklaces, vaccine-removal potions, distilled masculinity in a bottle, magnets you shove up your nose to keep trans kids out of your bank account, whatever, you name it. Since we’re about to lose foreign production it’s time to fire up those 3D printers and Etsy accounts.
While I’m being cheeky, I’m also not. The world has changed, the old ways are dying because there is too much opposition to truth and reality. Of fucking COURSE a genetics company is going to produce complete fantasy creatures and call them “Dire Wolves” and you know what? I WOULD TOO, because this is how you survive now, this is the world we’ve become through no fault of our own.
Why the fuck do I bother with learning a marketable skill when the real skill I should be learning is how to scam dumb people.

Makes sense… But I need money to survive.
I agree with you in that not scamming people ina valuable way to act. I guess I’m just burnt out and jaded at this point.

Crystals can actually remove bad influences from your life, if you throw them hard enough.
