On Life Expectancy and Our TED Talk Sickness.
So I was reading this article on Japan about how they live such long lives and well-lived ones too. Then I started thinking about how silly our system in general is and, yeah, I respect the hustle, but come on, people, let's not get carried away. We all want to tweak our lives that little bit and have great results (rich ones, I assume) and I'm not even saying the article isn't valid.
Don't join a union, like they say, better pop a pill. Thing is, the reason places like Japan and Germany (another country whose rituals people try to mimic or tell us will change our lives) is that they have sensible policies and damn better equality. This makes things like living longer that much easier (no matter what you do).
And to that level, Anand's Winner Takes All book, is instructive. Women, for example, shouldn't work for maternal leave (and paternal leave) or other real forms of equality (ERA for example). No, just lean in, and stand up up straight for fuck's sake and you'll undo centuries of oppression.
Anyhow, that's just me bitching. As the rich (GOP, but democrats as well) put to play the axiom "I'll pay one half of the poor to fight the other half" with their policies, the ones who have some power will try a handful of rituals to improve their status and we'll watch the world burn together.
/old man rant over. Actually, no old man rant here. Given how the older generation is acting, those diaper wearing fucks don't have a single thing of value to impart to this world. As they say, let's hope for more heat waves.
