@umami_wasbi Getting hired for what exactly?

My gut feeling is it might decrease your chance of getting hired by an average soul destroying big corporate, but increase your chances of being hired by a better company that values autonomy and people who think differently.

This can be applied to many other aspects of how you come across. Better to be genuine and let that exclude you from the bad roles, and improve your chances with fewer but better ones.

@streetfestival @the_q I’m glad you get it. I love “be more buy less”!

Many of us don’t need nearly as much as we think we do. It takes a bit of growth & calming down tho, which is hard to do with all the noise

Media hypes us on the “cost of living crisis” and while I agree basic needs price goes up which sucks, but half the problem is really a “cost of confirming crisis”. That is, wanting to live in a very specific and often sub-optimal way just to be at least “on par” with everyone else.

@the_q Oh don’t get me started flexing on how I sleep on the floor and no longer own a car

Or some just like cooking and don’t give a damn about consumerism?

I’m not exactly struggling with finances. I cook all my food because I like to and have time. I hardly buy stuff because I unbrainwashed myself from consumerism.

Half the reason I semi-retired in my 30s is because I need little to satisfy me after de-bloating my mind.

I have a baby son and a wife and plenty of time to spend with them.

All of the people I know who have more money than me do not have any of this.
