Imagine you’re given the option to play one of two games:
Game #1
You live with a close-knit, self-sufficient community of 150 people who know you intimately. The community is not rich but provides food shelter clothing and healthcare. All the necessities are cared for. You contributing three or four hours of labor per day to the community. Money is only used for luxuries that we want, not need. Your voice is heard in the decisions made by the leaders your community. You will rarely feel busy, lonely, or anxious.
Game #2
You start with student loan of $100K in the hope of acquiring one specific skill. You’ll then be enslaved more than half of your waking hours, doing that repetitive task earning money points for decades unti you retire. You borrow $500K to buy a house. During this entire time, your boss will make more money points off your time, talent, and hard work than you do. A few thousand bosses control this global system, you feel insignificant like an ant, your voice does not matter. You suffer chronic busyness, loneliness, stress, anxiety, and hopelessness.
We're stuck in a play we don't want to play.
