>>9707187Oh don't get me wrong, I agree that money has lost a lot of its power, but this is mostly down to consumerism, we sold all the well paying jobs that don't require high education for cheap plastic crap, as for housing this is similar to the first part, we made jobs that need higher education thus they are the only ones left that can support a family, but again here is the kicker, would you be willing to give up a lot of the creature comforts and go back to a life style akin to the 80s or 70s?
Now me personally I would, I don't think I nor my family have had our lives enriched from all the advancements that have come from the dawn of the new millennia, because if you give an honest look at how our supply chain works, you'd quickly realize we need to have a highly globalized system to keep things running, the only reason we can have lifestyles we have now is through the exploitation of the third world, and by selling our working class out, this is why I say take the Amish pill, we can't continue to live like this for ever its unsustainable, and me personally I'd rather live like my grandfather and have a house then like I do now and have nothing of value
>Scatt Cawthorn leaves an impression,getting lucky enough to be hyped up. Survivour bias in a nutshell Well here's the thing with Scott, as you mention he failed and failed again, hell what inspired him was what Jim Sterling said about his beaver game, its an ultimate proof that you can make it if you keep trying, I'm not saying its a guarantee Ether, you can try your whole life and never succeed, but if you never try then I can guarantee you will never succeed
Just remember and this goes for all artists out there "History will just as easily forget the critics as it will your mistakes" when you think of all the well know artist out there you don't think of every mistake they made, you remember their achievements
