Those in the Imperial Core will never understand that what they consider unbearable hardship and boredom is actually a life of luxury that the vast majority of people on Earth cannot even imagine.

The international division of labor is 1000x more important and impactful than the domestic one.

    While I was watching this video I thought horrible things would gradually get revealed. Instead I just got envious. This guy has a house? And a cute dog? And a clean place? And he gets a 90 minute lunch break where he can go home? He has a job where he can sit down all day?

    He has the time, energy, and mental fortitude to go to the gym? This dude makes at least $80k per year. He's fine.

    Are these things just kind of taken for granted or what? I work 3 hours more per day than this guy, I'm on my feet, and I can't afford a house.

      Of course they're taken for granted, a lot of people that grow up comfortable just assume that's the baseline. They don't know that there's a whole other world out there. It's just something that other people live, to them.

      This guy spends 6 hours in the office a day and people are acting as if it's the apocalypse or something.
