Do you not see how the fear of having these things cut off if circumstances out of your control (health, being fired, car breaking down) prevent you from working is not even remotely the same as the stability that a billionaire enjoys? Perhaps I should have said domicile? Are you suggesting that a vague what-if scenario prevents you from enjoying the amenities that give you a better standard of living than half of the world’s population? Do you not understand that your senses would experience the air conditioning the exact same way regardless of whether you are in a mansion or an RV? I will never understand why people choose to dwell on what-if scenarios. Sure, we may all experience a car wreck or an illness tomorrow, but how could that possibly have any influence on your happiness today? If you don’t actually anticipate being laid off, why are you preoccupied with the idea?

Bro I live in an RV part time and the AC is not at all equivalent to living in a house. And there's nothing vague about those what ifs. They are reality for a large percentage of the country. https://www.kake.com/story/34248451/6-in-10-americans-dont-have-500-in-savings

Manager Hoyden posted:Just so you know, this is insufferable fart-huffing nonsense and that is exactly how it is being received That’s fine if you feel that way. This is the unpopular opinion thread. The only reason I keep pushing back against folks saying that people have to be mentally affected by threats both real and imagined at all times is because that is actually what is untrue, and perhaps a lurker hasn’t thought about it. What I’m saying isn’t new, just a rehash of “count your blessings” because life is actually far, far better than lots of people (especially on this forum) would have you believe. You can choose to enjoy what you have or not, but no one makes that decision but you.

You can approach things with a positive attitude, but saying people shouldn't be mentally affected by real threats to their life is insane. There's zero chance that you actually live the nonsense you're spouting and you sound like a Jordan Peterson level con artist. When's your book coming out?

(Even so, if I was still doing the long commute I had a few years ago, the savings from buying electricity vs. gas would bring it a lot closer to being worth the price.)

There's zero chance that you actually live the nonsense you're spouting and you sound like a Jordan Peterson level con artist. When's your book coming out? The key phrase is “at all times” meaning you will feel different emotions as things happen in your life. When the average day in your life consists of you being too fearful of future negative possibilities to the point where you are unable to enjoy the average day in your life, that’s on you since you can choose to instead enjoy the average day in your life.

I guess I'd ask what your response would be to people with clinical depression or other mental health issues that are unable to get adequate care. Are these people supposed to just bootstrap themselves or what?

Not a fan of people implying that anyone living in the first world has no reason to complain. It feels very "94% of poor households have a refrigerator" Which goes hand in hand with a rock-stupid bootstraps philosophy I guess

I find it interesting that so many people in the thread think that the idea that “you have the ability to make meaningful changes in your life” (which applies to the vast majority of the population) is covertly saying “hey outliers with disabilities your life sucks and it’s all your fault so do something about it.” People enjoy protecting other people online that they think can’t speak up for themselves (they can) but as for the reason why that is I’m quite stumped. Also you all must know that even if “bootstrapping” isn’t a perfect strategy for every person all of the time, sucking it up and doing what you need to do even when it’s unpleasant or you think you don’t have the strength to do it (you do) is a strategy that we all employ all the time. To speak of it as if it has no value or as a way to tell who is in what mental camp is not a good look. I only see this kind of thought online though so I know it’s not actually that prevalent of a thought process, but I’ve gotten off topic.

You have no idea what you're talking about and you're making up your knowledge of how prevalent any "thought processes" are in the real world You're really doubling down on a very stupid take. It's so wrong it's impossible to refute, but (this is the interesting part) it does no good to anyone even if it were true. It's a very wrong opinion that would be dumb even if it were correct. Congratulations, that's impressive I'm glad you have the ability to choose to be pleased with how dumb you are. God truly gives his toughest battles to his toughest children

It is smart to be aware of relative advantages and disadvantages different groups of people have in society to be able to more correctly identify cause, effect, consequences, actions, etc. But on the other hand dwelling and obsessing over how you and/or others are victims of society, as goons are wont to do, is not really productive and doesn't really improve your life. If anything it makes your life worse, and can cause you to develop a persecution complex.

I feel the issue is you are using very universal language for advise that is very specific. And you are opting to double down that your advice is, contrary to what everyone is telling you, is actually incredibly applicable to everyone universally when actually it's harmful and victim blaming and dangerous rhetoric for most people to take on. You vastly overestimate how much people, overall, have control over their circumstances and how those circumstances dictate their mental dispositions. You seem to be implying people can have better experiences of life and better circumstances if they only alter their thoughts and actions stemming from those thoughts. This is a prevelent neolib meme which is used to justify and empower punching down and lovely oppressive material conditions. It comes across like this advise is informed by your own life circumstances which people are reasonably inferring are pretty good. So it goes without saying it follows your advice comes across as condosending, parental, arrogant and ill-informed. Like advise from an 18 year old dude who likes to explain Jordan Peterson to girls at parties and why it isn't actually just world fallacy it's just just world. It's like saying, if you want to lose weight you can just choose to. If you want to quit opiates you can just quit it's easy just stop opiates why are all these people homeless surely it's not material conditions it's absolutely their decision and fault dumb poors
