[07:08] IsambardPrince There's intense pressure on everyone to find where they fit in. They are pressured to go into debt of all kinds, including student loan debt that survives a bankruptcy even if it doesn't work out. Then they're pressured to be aggressive self-promoters who spend all day massaging LinkedIn profiles and other stupid garbage, and to work themselves to the bone trying to pay the debt. [07:08] IsambardPrince The system ridicules people who refuse to have children. They refer to us as if we are "infertile" or have "fertility problems", when it's because of the system that doing so is financial suicide. It's gaslighting, basically. [07:08] IsambardPrince People who do not take risks, aggressively self-promote, undertake bullshit jobs to pay lots of debt, and make more workers for the rich to exploit are posed as "people there's something wrong with". [07:09] IsambardPrince Not having children is a decision made to promote your own survival and self-preservation, in a system that no longer supports anything else. But then they run "news articles" implying that "your junk doesn't work". [07:09] IsambardPrince And many of us fit into this category now, and most of us never realize why we shouldn't care. We live in an utterly toxic system, but by living in it every day, it starts feeling normal, and like we're the ones who are wrong if we don't neatly fit into it. [07:09] IsambardPrince I actually looked up "Wesley" just for kicks, and his LinkedIn page says that 20 years later, he's paying off his debts by working at a student loan servicer that was so nasty it got shut down by Biden's education department, showing that the system does, in fact, bend people to its will. It's rather like the Nazis recruiting Jews to police their own ghetto."
