Are people like me - for whom every moment spent thinking about the need for money is a moment spent in anguish - just not supposed to exist?

    The utopian capitalist answer is that this is a flaw in your brain, a symptom of an illness. They will tell you that the healthy human brain will allow you to be happy and find meaning in any and all situations because there exists someone somewhere who could.

        Money is energy and we are all made of energy so if you're poor it's cause you want to be. What's Calvinism, never heard of it, try shrooms bro.

          The claim that shrooms/psychedelics are a consistent and reliable way to make people more empathic was quickly dispelled for me by meeting one too many Silicon Valley sociopaths that came out the other side claiming it was empathy to see their own face everywhere into infinity or other narcissistic shit interpretations like that. It was garbage in, garbage out. See also Joe Rogan.
