How delightfully quaint to see another bourgeois self-help manifesto pretending the world is bent by mere individual "agency" rather than the grinding wheel of material conditions.

These precious "principles" are but the psychological software updates of a comfortable elite who mistake their capital-funded playground for universal human liberation. By all means, my high-agency friend, "do things that don’t scale"—starting with the illusion of your own independence from the working class that built the very desk you sit at to write this drivel!!

I know you've been out of it for a while bro but we moved on from desks

Whether you sell your labor while standing up, lounging on a beanbag, or pretending to be a "digital nomad," you have merely exchanged a wooden workstation for a wireless leash. Rest assured, my disrupted friend, the cobalt in your sleek little laptop was still clawed out of the earth by hands that have never heard of your "high-agency" lifestyle.

Great read👍…thanks

best description of being stoned i've ever read

Love! Thanks

Thanks bigga I thought it was me.

I often feel sorry for the extroverts I know because they are never happy just in their own company. I think that must be awful, to need to be with other people all the time….

im an extrovert and just for that im going to hurt you:

I understand why she wanted to hide now.

Ouch! 😖😝

Now people who inadequately communicate can be victims too! (extrovert here)

sounds like everybody

One of my favourite Radiohead songs. Also one of their best videos.

I am very much an introvert. The temptation to agree blindly is high.
But I am also highly critical of everything too. Perhaps that aspect is stronger than the introvertedness.
I feel like one of our societal problems is we seem to be seeking victims of discrimination obsessively. The want to be seen as a victim seems like something that would not help me as much as hold me back.
Victimhood has become a currency.
Jussie Smollett, who is currently imprisoned being good evidence.
The story of a lady in Barrow who falsely accused multiple men of rape, grooming and people trafficking is not all that well documented but it's another example.
There is a documentary on the subject from a universally despised former EDL member who recently left the country due to the undermining of a super injunction put on a film they produced. I am not a fan of this person in any way, but their film on this case was honest and details really covered quite well.
Emma Kenny also has covered it on a YouTube video, but it doesn't have the same feel as a documentary with much raw footage. That is why I mention the former.
Her lies were astonishing. The mistakes by the police, msm and other celebrities bringing attention to the lady's plight all astonishing.
Ruined multiple men's lives and caused 2 to attempt suicide.
All because she wanted to be a victim. A rare case but micro is from macro and such.
