Rec | ANTI-REC: HOARDING WEALTH

💰

like yes absolutely be financially savvy and have savings but money is meant to be circulated in the economy through the exchange of goods and services, not endlessly collecting interest in someone’s bank account
also like billionaires just shouldn’t exist we need to bring back those ancient greek/roman principles where ultra wealthy people literally competed with one another to build public infrastructure and fund pro-social artefacts and institutions so they could be admired by the normies

Imagine having that much money and being able to solve so many communal problems and just not doing it. You’d think being seen as a hero would hack their egos but no, they choose to stay villains.

ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE ULTRA WEALTHY

like hoooooly shit, the various things people like peter thiel, curtis yarvin, and their circles (including musk) say sound so insane because they are fucking insane people. but I feel like I sound insane when I'm like no like they've publically said they want corporate cities ran by billionaires where we're all their slaves and the people who aren't good enough workers will be turned into bio fuel (and the people behind these ideas are backing/heavily influencing people in office and creating surveillance companies and brain chips and shit but that's a whole other post)

wealthy people dating poor people

we must redistribute the wealth, especially if it’s generational!! My dear friend lori really got me on this philosophy and she’s not wrong.

Reading for 60-90mins a day

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

birdwatching

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

not trying to be cool

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
