All these "I'm gonna lose my job, what do I do" posts are useless, if not just glowie demoralization.
Here's the deal:
The medical industry, the entertainment industry, the cosmetic industry, the retail industry, etc... -- all of them are a farce.
They are based on lies told to people to sell things people don't need. What's worse is that some actively lobby to craft an artificial ecosystem that requires their snake oil to survive, thereby making us slaves to THEIR systems.
All your degrees and certificates are just wood pulp saying you're a loyal slave. It says nothing of your ability to perform the job; a shitty doctor is still a shitty doctor regardless of degree.
If your job is mandating you kill yourself by injecting venom, it won't be the last time they pull that trick. By giving in, you're just moving the goalpost for them. They'll ask you to do it again, and again, and again; until you're dead.
In reality, your job is already gone. The world we're headed towards, no matter which side wins, already deems you obsolete. If you weren't "essential" AKA "exempt" you're already first on the chopping block for the depopulation effort.
Technology is so stunted, so controlled, and so corrupt that the "skills" you think you have are woefully depreciated.
The only ability that matters is the ability to learn. Not memorize, but learn. Once you've mastered the ability to learn, there's nothing you're not qualified for.
If they take you to that line, and you get fired, then take the time to learn how to learn. It'll be the most valuable thing you could possibly do.
You're calling me the manchild but here you are resorting to names and shaming me for preferring a simple life; shaming me for not wanting to be a debt slave.
I'm not telling you what to do, I'm warning you of the repercussions in what you've done and why I've chosen to avoid those things.
I think it's wonderful you have a high quality life. I think it's wonderful you have ambition. I think it's wonderful you have a family, I really do...
But I don't care about a high quality life. I don't care about money or possessions. I don't care about a family that doesn't yet exist.
I care about the family I have.
Of course not; not in this world at least. That's why I'm not gonna do something foolish and start a family just because others tell me I should.
Again, if God wants me to, then he'll send someone my way.
Why do you think it's so important that I live up to YOUR expectations?
Why shame me for living at home still?
Do you think you're on a more righteous path than me? Because, I don't think I'm on a more righteous path than you. I'm on the path that's before me, that's it.
What you call being a manchild, I call being humble.
I don't spend frivolously. I don't have vacations. I don't purchase beyond my means. I don't even know how much I make per hour. So long as I have more in my account at the end of the month than I did at the start, I'm satisfied.
You gotta understand, I DON'T WANT YOUR LIFE!
Not at the cost it will take, and from the sounds of it, that's a cost which is currently too much for you to bear.
So go ahead, call me naive. You're accurate on that point, but I'd rather be naive and free from worry than be overly ambitious and hounded by debt.
Ambition at the risk of debt is just gambling.
Ambition at the certainty of debt is foolish.
I'm shaming you because you're naive and ignorant and you post nonsense as if it's wisdom. Nothing in that post is a 'red pill' as your flair suggests.
You also condescend others with problems because you don't understand them or because they're not your own with that glowie line at the beginning.
I may be naive and ignorant, but I'm not wrong.
My primary goal above all other is that I don't want to be a debt slave. That's my number one ambition.
If you can provide a road map to avoiding that eventuality, while also having a family, moving out of my parent's house, and having all the things you have without so much as owning a credit card, I'm all ears.
Tell me how to do all that, and avoid debt 100%, and I'll agree you have the right of it.
However, after you do all that, and describe to me how to live my life according to your design...
Explain to me why you haven't done the same.
The actual term they use to describe you is incel. That stands for involuntary celibate. I used to debate if this was a real thing …. after reading this thread I know it is.
To be an incel you usually have to blame either society or women in general.
I still blame myself. I know if I get rid of my ambition to stay out of debt I could have all the things others have, but I don't want to cross that line on moral grounds.
The more accurate term for me is a spinster. I eat one meal a day, watch old movies because the new ones are trash, crochet bags, read old books including the Bible, used to go to a Bible study and teach Religious Education, and I have a porcelain rooster collection.
I'm an old granny in a 30 year old man's body.
