Unfortunately going to be similar situations everywhere the economic model requires contribution to function, as median ages climb less people are net contributors.

Hey megaman sounds like you could use a creative hobby rather than a consumptive one! There are lots of foss tools out there for making video games if that’s your primary interest!
You should check out some indie titles for inspiration and take a crack at learning some of the skills involved with making a game could be fulfilling and potentially financially rewarding down the road at the same time!
Cheers 🍻 I hope you are able to get a fresh perspective and get off Microsoft’s dopamine drip feed cause it ain’t it my guy.
lol! Alpha state late stage capitalism upgrade to beta after the next reset!
Wait until you learn about passive indexes where the logic is you give me money = buy and then factor in the volume of assets under management in that cycle. Then take a look at retirement age and global average age trending closer towards retirement age lol do the math on that one
I feel this with a healthy dose of decision paralysis on top.
Most important thing first start now he says as he over analyzes the details of the latest hyper fixation 😂 good luck out there 🫡
Op take a look at your other habits big and small with special attention offered to contemplating how compulsive they are / what triggers a craving etc.
If you want a good read related to the area dopamine nation has a mix of thoughtful interpretation and some valuable anecdotal experience for reference!
When you think about the percentage of corporate evaluations that are construed of intangible assets it gives me some hope that it’ll topple more like jenga than the bottom of a pyramid 😅
What’s your take on our current markets trajectory when considering a globally aging population with a disproportionate share of wealth / participants heading towards being net beneficiaries rather than contributors?
Personally I’m leaning toward inevitable collapse before you even attempt to factor geopolitical stability into the equation lol
The land grabs and foreshadowing with focus on extractive and tangible economic development gives me a sense that some state actors also see similar writing on the wall .
Curious on your thoughts :) thank you for the responses!
Thank you for the validation!
Do you have any recommendations on equitable policy we should champion? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Imports and immigration are just passing the burden of the shit jobs onto other undeserving populations capitalism still grinds away just out of sight.
automation is viable but when it’s implemented in a way that reduces manufacturing cost to increase shareholder value it fails to improve standard of living for those who don’t share in the value.
It really boils down to our reliance on private equity to support our open market economy. private equity’s goals don’t align with public good and ubi doesn’t make that go away
Please refer to our aging population and labour shortage for the pain points of people choosing better jobs like it sounds good in a vacuum but it really doesn’t hold up as a silver bullet.
It’s not so much they’re corrupt it’s just how markets are designed to flow from consumers to businesses.. they are relentlessly efficient and exploit human ignorance by design any increase in demand will drive increase in labour wanted if they can’t get someone here to make it what have they done so far? Go elsewhere to do it cheaper lol

Awesome list of content!
Have you come across any good blog style guides or references? I love a good video tutorial but going through the rust book has me wishing there were better documentation for some game dev concepts 😅
