    I mean abuse begets abuse.

    Most people are more concerned with riding the wheel to the top than they are committed to breaking the wheel.

      Which makes them suckers.

      Birth lottery is most of it. They let a few exceptional tokens through, enough to keep the fantasy alive.

      I consider being a grind culture warrior true believer to be considerably dumber than a lottery ticket addict

        I see what you’re angling for but that’s an overstretched comparison. Grind culture warriors get paid at the end of the week.

          I wouldnt call destroying my body in exchange to live one more week getting “paid” as much as it is a sacrifice. The people buying lotto are just kinda Saying fuck it, if I’m going to die I might as well keep trying to see if I can hit a jackpot before then.
