Essentially, evolution may have produced a species so intelligent and comfort-seeking that it gradually suppresses its own survival instincts, to the point where the pursuit of convenience, ease, and freedom from struggle could eventually undermine the species’ will to continue itself at all.

But why stop there? Let’s stop going out to eat too. Kevin O’Leary says people spend too much on lunch. Fine. No restaurants. Also, no more streaming subscriptions. No vacations. No new phones. Let’s fully commit to the idea that we’d all be better off if we just consumed less.

Then watch how fast these same billionaires panic when corporate profits collapse and suddenly start lecturing everyone about their “duty” to spend money, consume and keep the economy alive.

Turns out the entire capitalistic system depends on borderline broke ordinary people constantly spending money while simultaneously shaming them for spending it. Consumers are apparently reckless idiots when they spend money, but heroic “drivers of the economy” the second corporate profits start falling.

Why do we have a system that constantly takes advantage of people with less money ?

It’s an entirely different world from dating in your 20s. By this age, a lot of people are totally exhausted, emotionally guarded, cynical, or carrying years of accumulated baggage from past relationships, divorces, kids, financial stress, disappointments, and general burnout.

Not that baggage is inherently bad…it comes with living a life. However, it absolutely changes the dating landscape. The optimism that existed in the dating world in your 20s is totally gone.

It’s not the overt moments…it’s the small, daily interactions: the subtle haggling, the indifference, the sense that care is conditional on what can be gained. But beyond that, it’s the vagueness…the half-answers, the indirectness, the refusal of clarity. Nothing is stated plainly anymore, and that’s what makes it feel intentional, as if confusion itself is a tool for manipulation. What does it say about a society when this becomes the common experience of its people?

That’s not to say there’s no care involved…if anything, the impulse to control is born from the very act of caring.

Like be honest…if you’re single and on online dating and you have a pet, or multiple pets…you sort of think it’d be nice to have a helping hand, right?
