E.A.B. Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Does this depress anyone else? The reality that everything in this world is limited, and therefore it is a constant struggle for resources and space? Whereas before; people beat each other over the head with rocks for food, now its more strategic, but much more brutal. Rocks become resumes, and the 'food' you're hunting for is now a paycheck. Everytime someone gets hired another misses out on that much needed paycheck. Someone will beat themselves over the head for not having a strong enough resume or for not making a strong enough impression. Many will try to present themselves very well, but fail and fail again. Person A will beat out person B, and person B will be stuck on the lower rungs of society. In the end, all I see in the faces of you all (pretend I can see you for a sec) is competition. Life seems much more fiercer than ever before. I honestly don't like how stringent the world is becoming. I doubt people had to prep themselves up so much. A simple job at a factory would have done it. But now, you need at least 4 years of college to be able to make it out there. Which is fine, we're really making the most of human capital! But at what cost? Personal freedom, I suppose. The ropes, they feel as if they've gotten...tighter. Nahmsayin? 'High school is the apex of your childhood; then comes adulthood and a steady family. Get a job, and live out a fulfilling life', fine. But now you need...so much more to achieve the same level. And even then, it seems as if you should have gotten more for the effort you put into it. Then again, if YOUR life fails then that leaves room for OTHERS to succeed. OTHERS to take your place and to claim what should have been YOURS (not really, but it sounds dramatic and cool simultaneously). MY security depends on being able to achieve a seat on the 'middle class' council, and I can only do that if many others fail. In short; my success depends on your failure. Just a random thought I had while opening up an economics textbook that I stole . Pfft, it's a sh*tty ghetto school, I'll put the thing to good use. What do you guys think? Does life seem much more competitive (economically) than ever before? I just feel as if we're giving up a bit of that personal freedom in order to be able to eat. You can no longer live life as freely as before. You have to be aware of how you're doing and can't let go as much as in the past. Then this brings up other thoughts, like how it's the same for Nations, but on a much bigger level, meaning that someone will always get screwed so others can have. Like I said, just random thoughts, but I like brainstorming sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Too many people on the planet (me included) but either we keep growing and run out of space and most people who are born end up dying, we pollute the planet until we die of global warming, or nature takes its course and beats our medicines and kills a few billion people (hopefully not me) and then we are back in the balance again, for a little while. I am not so sure if life is more competitive (economics wise but what i wrote above would suggest so, more people = less resources per person = more competitiveness to get the most) or not since i haven't been in the working system for very long but i do believe it is harder and harder for people with little money or are in developing nations to easily survive, so i suppose in a sense it is more competitive since you need to be better than in previous times to get a job.

Black-hawk Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Watch this and start crying/building a bunker/committing mass genocide (it's long, but explains how resources are limited, and constant growth reduces them A HELLUVA LOT FASTER when looked at properly): It's about an hour long, but for the love of God please watch it, as it really raises some good points and explains sh*t that's kinda important, especially today.

Hobbes27 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sucks to suck. That's what a bunch of people will say, or at least think. The reality is that it's not even your resume that "bashes" people over the head, its your connections. The world in general, from crime to politics to entertainment to the working world, is getting more and more about who you know, not what you know. I wouldn't neccessarly say your failing means my success, but more then likely my fathers friends are better then your fathers friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the caste system is still echoing through our civilisation as though it were still enacted. There are few exceptions to the systems, which of course see their fame for breaking the mould, but otherwise this world moves on. What you wear, listen to, talk to, work for and sleep with has everything to do with your future, and yet true intelligence is only discovered through unnecessary trial and error. In short, it's a total sh*te storm of egotistic trend setters that will make you a farmer or a rockstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddsock Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Either you can be all depressed about things or you can enjoy life. More and more these days when I am walking on campus between classes I am looking up at the trees changing colors instead of the ground. Basically, I'm enjoying life more. Chase girls, learn things, get a hobby, find fun in your job. You can let everything rule your life with a "boo-hoo we're all guilty for our successes and others' failures" or you can, like I said, relax and enjoy what you're getting.

Dark. Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 A simple job at a factory would have done it. But now, you need at least 4 years of college to be able to make it out there. A friend's brother of mine never went to college; he's now a driver for Herr's. He actually makes somewhat good money and even has his own house. Is college the smart thing to do? Yes. Is it absolutely needed to live a good life? No. From what I've seen, some simple factory jobs offer fair pay, and there's plenty of room for promotion. The world works how it works; the rich keep everyone else in poverty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

860 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Capitalism, survival of the richest. Think about this. One day there will be so many robots that most of the human population will be unemployed. Well unless we think ahead. What if machines cultivated our crops, milked our cows, mined our metals and made our cars? All we would have to do is sit back and live. The goverments would own companies (by either buying them or making their own ones, so it won't be all commie and everything), people buy their goods and services, the company pays for the electricity and maintance of the robots, the sallary of the CEOs, advertising people and such (since you still need some good ol' human judgement) and all the rest goes to the goverments pocket where it will be given back to the people. Yes, given. Like 25 000 - 30 000 a year. All you gotta do is spend it. Offcourse you can become rich if you so desire. Make music, invent something new, create your own company (under the goverments flag). Not sure if it would work, but it f*cking better. Because this will happend. The faster we go through the change the less people have to suffer in poverty. This would be a brand new leaf in the history of mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEantiX Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I agree with the Original Poster. One day, The resources will all dissapear. A war will be Declared and people will kill you for a f*cking Apple. Just look at the world today. Check out school, People dont think there is anything wrong .... Really?. Its f*cking FORCED EDUCATION. How is that positive. Have we come to the point where we must force f*cking kids to go to a school ? Instead of giving them a choice. What kind of " Humanity " Is that, Half of the world doesnt understand this sh*t. People NEED to stand up for their rights. Because if we dont sh*t is gonna pop off. And look at the American Goverment. They lie about everything, If you ask me ... The world will not hold out alot. It will be a war over resources. And normal rules will no longer apply ...

You cannot be a functioning member of society if you do not understand it. If you are not a functioning member of society, in Darwinian terms, you are dead. Education is important because we live in a society which values and thrives on the skills and abilities of people. If you do not encourage people to learn from an early age they cannot function properly in it. Wars over resources have happened long before the invention of civil society. Animals fight to the death over food. Your right that at the end of the day, human (animal) nature will always win out, but the human instinct for survival promotes learning as a process for the reason that, if you understand the workings of the world (for instance, know how to plough the land most effectively) your chances of survival increase, as do the chances of those around you (therefore by default increasing your chances as they're less likely to kill you in your sleep and eat you). The human brain has evolved a capacity to learn well above that of other animals. Not fulfilling that capacity dehumanizes us and reduces us to less than what we could be. You don't see squirrels half-arsedly hunting for nuts do you? Because at the end of the day it's all about survival, or making your life as comfortable as possible.

Jesus'En'Hitler420 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Capitalism, survival of the richest. The world works how it works; the rich keep everyone else in poverty. What the f*ck? You know, there are 6 and 1/2 billion people on this planet, and more than 2/3 of it still do not have plumbing, electricity, or even a properly insulated place to live. You guys are the rich. You guys are the ones many people see as holding them down. Give it all up then if you feel so bad because you are rich, and far richer than you realize. The only thing to bitch about is liberty, the liberty to pursue more or less as you desire. 2/3 of this planet has no liberty. Enjoy it because the further we head in to the future, the less and less we are going to be given because of some of those struggles the OP mentioned. Capitalism has given you what you have. Chase girls, learn things, get a hobby, find fun in your job. You can let everything rule your life with a "boo-hoo we're all guilty for our successes and others' failures" or you can, like I said, relax and enjoy what you're getting.

The influence of those outside the paternal circle is, over the course of a lifetime, more influential than those inside it. That said, early notions of good and bad are predominantly based on what is learned from the parents. Eventually, society trumps parenting.

Tchuck Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 While physical resources are finite, human creativity, on the other hand, is not. The jobs of today that can be done by the robots of tomorrow will leave some people unemployed. But man is a creative being, and there will always be room for creative people and creative jobs. Life is not fair, that's common knowledge. Most people think of themselves first and that's only a natural instinct. Throughout history there are stories of people who didn't have connections, but worked really, really, really hard and managed to get to a high point in life. People don't all have the same opportunities, but they have the ability to make the best of what they have if they want to. How can some thrive in poverty while others waste away a life of richness? It's all a state of mind. The sun rises for everyone, the shade only for those who seek it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't stop you being a bell-end though. Yeah all just because im " 16 ". All i can say is. Cool f*ckING Story bro. Enjoyed the book If you want a sh*t life then go ahead, it doesn't affect me. But coming on here and preaching your "I don't care and anyone who does is a wage slave" bullsh*t just makes you sound like a twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark. Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 What the f*ck? You know, there are 6 and 1/2 billion people on this planet, and more than 2/3 of it still do not have plumbing, electricity, or even a properly insulated place to live. You guys are the rich. You guys are the ones many people see as holding them down. Give it all up then if you feel so bad because you are rich, and far richer than you realize. The only thing to bitch about is liberty, the liberty to pursue more or less as you desire. 2/3 of this planet has no liberty. Enjoy it because the further we head in to the future, the less and less we are going to be given because of some of those struggles the OP mentioned. Capitalism has given you what you have. Mommy and daddy have worked very hard so that they could afford a private island in the Bahamas for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggburt Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I can see where you're coming from with this topic but an alternative view would be that if Person B spent the time they use complaining about Person A having all the advantages a bit more wisely; networking, getting education, getting experience they would be able to kick Person A in the nuts and bash them over the head or whatever your point was to get the job. Person B in this topic is personified by SWEantiX, who should be put down for society's benefit "School didnt learn me anything to be honest" - Perfect.
