i very much believe in these self-help audiobooks. i once saved some incel's life and then one day he just told me about this book he had found. i stumbled over the audiobook version of the book (danks to torrents) and listened to it just for fun.

 

this was when i was 20 and obviously school is meant to turn children into slaves by depressing them on purpose. while i was still full of the energy of youth this was nice to hear something optimistic for once. this optimistic attitude is so much more important then the actual knowledge conveyed directly in the book.

 

when i was young this gave me hope. when i got older my problems with the body of knowledge started because it is so uncritical towards the effects a monetary system has on groups of humans. in the book capitalism isn't even treated as something disgusting or a problem or the malevolent shackles holding back humanity.

 

it does however convey this radical self-belief and the conviction to change things for the better through hard work, which sometimes capitalism pretends to be based on or represent. merely a few saints are behaving fairly while so many are just dirty people looking to get ahead through dirty tricks. ' through all means necessary'. this mindset of capitalism and competition is so flawed because it rewards unfairness. i've heard these bitches try to rationalize their sinful ways. they say life's a bitch anyways so they can be an asshole too.

 

another problem i have is that being rich is not better then being poor. in a sense this being rich is hard work for a lesser quality life in more luxurious surroundings.
