  • Ehh, this feels like some kinda survivorship bias / frequency fallacy. I’d argue the people that post and leave comments on social media are already way outside of the norm. It is a power law distribution when it comes to social media participation. Your outliers in this case are very likely outliers in other ways such as in opinions/thinking, risk taking, etc. Drugs really aren’t all that normalized. Sure all my friend circle is full of degenerates, but I am still going to be guarded about my “hobbies” when meeting new people.










  • There are always additional choices available beyond the ones presented to you. They may not be optimal, but they are yours and they are there. And a principled choice with negative consequences can still be worth it. People get emotionally invested into all sorts of stupid shit, or never question why something is the way it is, or never express curiosity for alternatives. And you simply don’t need to accept these people’s framing for anything. It is even a parenting technique using the illusion of choice on children to force a decision that was never a choice to begin with.


  • That much money is a fucking hassle. Everyone wants it and bothers you about it. You can’t just leave it alone, it needs to be managed. Some portion of that money goes to pay for the management of it. And if anyone finds out you have that money, they treat you differently because generally, only shitheads and assholes have that much money. Money is fucking toxic and humanity is a giant disappointment
