I honestly don’t get the impression that most people on here care about others, care for learning new things, or wish to try and adjust their life to match what the future will need from us but just want to have their life stay the same and not feel beaten down by late stage unchecked capitalism stealing their wealth.

The sheer amount of times that people tell others to do exactly as they do and will also craft ideas of who the other person is to be able to win their argument in their head shows a lack of empathy and care for the complexity of others existence.

I think people do get more conservative as they get older but since there was no money to go around it’s all become cultural and social aspects to conserve and feel a need to protect rather than their wealth. Its still stagnation even if you want a better system to have more money.
