I hate you . So much . But thank you haha <| sep |> Don ' t worry , neither are we . <| sep |> I feel like decoding Westworld talks too much about theories and not about the actual episodes . <| sep |> Lovely colour saturation in that clip . <| sep |> Is the only thing keeping you from committing crime , is that you are employed presumably ? If yes , you are a lunatic and a psychopath . Not for me personally , but numerous studies have found that unemployment is a major contributor to turning to crime . Now , America already has a pretty robust safety net , so why do they turn to crime ? If you think I am saying that every unemployed person will turn to crime , you are being disingenuous . But if suddenly everyone gets UBI , yes , I will bet my life that the crime rate will increase . People have fantasies that they will all become a musician or an artist because for some reason they suddenly can now that they have UBI , but not everyone that buys an iPad pro and does a shitty drawing will produce something that anyone is even interested in . Suddenly what you do has no purpose . Having the freedom to not work is what freed Socrates and Plato and many of the ancient thinkers from their mental chainsThey taught and were very revered thinkers and philosophers already while they were alive . My main post said that People need a purpose and something to do . Socrates and Plato didn ' t do labor , but they most definitely had a purpose and people to teach , interact with , etc . , thus there is no reason for them to turn to crime . Also , I ' m assuming they got paid to teach and that ' s how they made their living . Why do you think a man is only his job , and a man can only find purpose when trading his TIME for MONEYI didn ' t say that , and maybe you don ' t do what you like for a living , but most people do . And for a lot , what they do as a job does partially define them as a person . I hope you can find something that you are passionate about and that also happens to be what you do for a living . but my mind and purpose could be so much more if I weren ' t limitedI ' m not sure what you mean by that , but if you are so sure and think you can make a living doing it , what is stopping you from pursuing that ? If you truly believe that , there ' s no reason why you can ' t go do it and be successful . Now if you mean that you can ' t make a living doing whatever you are talking about , then fine . No one is stopping you from living in a tent and living a subsistence lifestyle . But if you want to enjoy everything capitalism has to offer , well that ' s the world we live in
