   Could you explain the consequence of fewer people?

     @sapphire @0 @LouisConde @nugger @weaf In a more cohesive environment, the issue is one of framing. I help my family out for nothing, and they even expect me to help out for nothing. Are they taking advantage of me, or do I love them? Viewing everything transactionally only works in a cold vacuum of business.

     The problem is that we're surrounded by those who are incapable of love, or that we ourselves are unable to love or be loved. Change who you associate with, and that comes back.

     Bread up, Bro likes this.

     @nugger @0 @LouisConde @weaf Low time preference turns out to be just as exploitable as high time preference, and the whole thing comes down as people realize it
     
     Nogs loan out rims at 24% because they don't care about future nog self. Whitey works 9-5 for 40 years because someone told him once that he'd live the good life (they are both slaves)
     
     So what's a man to do? Lots of guys just don't do anything at that point for fear of being taken advantage of.

     @nugger @0 @LouisConde @weaf I'm more afraid that our guys are too despondent to learn skills. Even if we had martial law and nationwide hot war, we'd still be competing with scab labor because they're the competition, and a bad job done is better than no job done

     @veff @0 @LouisConde @weaf TO SOME EXTENT ITS A SOCIALLY ENGINEERED THING
     ITS LIKE THE MARSHMALLOW TEST BUT YOU PUNCH THE KID IN THE FACE AND EAT THE MARSHMALLOW IF HE WAITS AS YOU TOLD HIM
     
     THE HELPLESSNESS IS LEARNED -- IT CAN BE UNLEARNED
     THROUGH HELP BY OTHERS
     AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, GROUPING UP FOR MUTUAL HELP IS THE WAY TO SURVIVE IN EVENT OF HOT WAR AND MARTIAL LAW

     @nugger @0 @LouisConde @weaf consolation prize is that if you're the one car repair shop you're never hunting for work or money
     not even a hypothetical anymore, if you have a kid and teach him a craft he'll be fine, because there's not going to be any competition.
