1111 $degen and thanks for your article; it was a really good read. personally, i'm not anti-capitalist, but i do see where you're coming from. like the other commenter said, a lot is determined by our own choices of how to spend our time/what we've been conditioned to think is the correct life path to achieve success. if you wanted to go work on a farm, you could go do that. you have the choice, ultimately. yes, it would mean a change in your standard of living. but you could.
i grew up on a "farm", that is, in a very rural area of the southwestern US. my parents sought out this idealistic homesteading thing. it was quite a hard life for them, ultimately. sometimes we wouldn't have enough water to flush the toilets. sometimes our livestock was eaten by mountain lions or foxes. one of our donkeys died getting tangled in a barbed wire fence. another got hit by lightning (like, what are the chances?)
