better paying job

a job that pays more than minimum wage in your society, in your zeitgeist.

son: I want to work but I dont want to nigger at McDonalds or Burger King, or perform some other unqualified job.

father: I have a solution for you. Shut up, get an education and then later on get a better paying job. Brandon, either become self employed, or go work in construction so you can later pull yourself up by your boot straps to hopefully open your own construction firm

I’m doing better than you

After five long years, you finally catch up with your cousin. He’s casually chilling on the couch, reading a magazine. When you ask how he’s been, he gives you a smug look and says, “I’m doing better than you.” He repeats this, then sarcastically says, “No, no, no, I’m joking.” But he keeps repeating it. You start to feel bad about yourself.

Example : You: “Hey man, it’s been a while. Long time no see! What have you been up to in life?”

Cousin: “…………I’m doing better than you………..No I’m not………..Yes I am”

Better

Wow! That became relativistic awfully fast. Objective morality requires relativistic definitions of the word 'better?' There is a BETTER better non-religious people failed to achieve during the covid pandemic? Or that could have been achieved but wasn't? I mean, the religious are immortal so you can see why the are better equipped to deal with mass death. But THAT BETTER... Is somehow undercut by a theoretical better that hasn't been achieved?

Hym "Yes, but you have the button, Sam. You have the exact button you described. And here you are, not pressing it. I don't see how you're not the moral monster you described. The think you consider completely untenable (the weaponized schizophrenia) is occurring. The black pill scenario is occurring. You have the button. And what's worse is that the guy that it's happening to has a button that is the antithesis of your button. And you're still not pressing it. How do you reconcile that? How are you not the moral monster?

You know what I think? I think you're a solipsist. I think everyone is (necessarily) a solipsist but you especially. You can even see it in the rhetoric you all use. Systems and models for emulation and corrective feedback. I really don't think other people are fully human to any of you. I don't think your morality is objective. I think it's just imaginary. I don't think it can be applied. I don't think you ever intend to apply it (because public policy is downstream from your morality yet still you're not a politician). I think is you ever had to apply it you would... Well... Do what you're doing now! And everyone would suffer for it. I really was going to bite the bullet on the weaponized schizophrenia, Sam. Really and truly. But you all were talking so much shit and you really did think you were better... YOU STILL DO! So, I'll ask again? What's my score? Wait! Decide whether or not you're going to press the button because that's going to determine whether or not you need to add one. How are you not the moral monster? And if to be that kind of moral monster requires you to have a damaged mind, how am I not right about you all being retarded?"

Better

If you were to use the contents of my mind instead of your own... would you not improve? And if yes, how am I not better?

Hym "Because everyone else who did it, DID improve. 100% of them. What did I say? I said, the reason I would be mocked is that people think that if they were ME the outcome would be different. Turns out the inverse is true. If the essence of my being were to inhabit your flesh sack, you improve. If I am the spirit that pilots your meat Gundam, you GET BETTER. Your outcome improves. Being me would be "the most meaningful experience of your life." How do I know? I've repeated the experiment over a dozen times now. It doesn't work the other way around. I've done your shit. Believe me. I have. And you know what happened? Nothing. Because that's just what happens when you add 0 to 1. I turned on my phone one day and you all pointed a camera at your face and chanted in unison that you were better. For one reason or another. And now when I turn on my phone all I see is my own blinding, radiant light shining back at me."
