| I grew up that way. It’s not that hard and it turns out sitting at a desk typing all the time is terrible for the body too. All the curious “hard” labor type lovers I know with diverse hands on experience and depth in numerous topics are living to 90 where as all the butts in seats screen addicts are dying in their 70s. Paraphrasing Adam Smith who wrote something to the effect of “extreme division of labor will make humans the dumbest creatures known to man.” Look at people who go into politics for decades; circling the same roleplay. I know a physicist who lives in a state of helplessness they never peeled a potato until their 40s. A man named Farmer is a Farmer for life; old Middle Ages roleplay. 4% of the country hunts and most rely on the JIT logistics games by billionaires for profit extraction because the masses have been propagandized to be incurious and helpless. We’ve just created another hierarchical social order given 70+ year old politicians and their politicians and siblings grew up with religion and nation state civic life rammed down their throats. Whoever thinks listening to a bunch of religious, post war shellshocked, Cold War paranoids is a good idea is insane themselves. Oh ageism! Yes against the youth expected to prop up the hallucinated investments of people they don’t know who deflate our buying power to insulate their own and being left with an ecological disaster is ageist. |
