Re: How Did They Train Everyone To Want a Job?
not EVERYONE can be an entrepreneur

every entrepreneur NEEDS people to produce the shit he thinks up.

very high handed attitude you are taking here ET!


sorry, bit of an anger misspell there! chuckle
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1111128



why are you angry? because you are one of the people producing the shit?

of course you could have a society of individually motivated people, each producing or providing what is needed/wanted by others, or some simply producing what they themselves need.

how big a society?

depends how many acyually wish to live like this.

maybe after the nwo wipes out 80/90% of us?

Working for yourself requires too much effort for most people..



theres much more to it then that..

our education.school system is not even setup to make humans independant or teach them the skills to be independant.

Then a lot of it is poor parenting. My parents, not the schools, set the example and taught me to be as independent as possible.

I work for other people, while writing poetry to my heart's content. I don't expect to become wealthy anytime soon, but it's my passion.

Writing is something I HAVE to do, like masturbation. Ideas continue to build until I release all over my poetry blog.

Why are 90% of the people in the West perfectly content to be wage slaves?

What happened to the entrepreneur's spirit?

I've been self employed most of my life. I have taken employee positions a few times, briefly, when times were tight, but I hated every single minute of it.

I can't imagine being happy working for someone else my entire life.

precisely why ET, after i ret'd from the govt, i created small biz/investments. the man sucks.

drews got it rough - hes lost so many jobs since 08 ive lost track.

i sent him back to college. hes going to work for me now. (god help him chuckle)

Re: How Did They Train Everyone To Want a Job?
lots of people are under the impression there is a limited number of vacancies in the 'self-employed' category.

although ultimately there will still be those who will have to perform menial tasks if they are capable of nothing more?

a self employed toilet cleaner may write his/her own invoices, and require the services of an accountant, and even earn more than a person 'employed' in a far more glamorous or comfortable profession.

but they still clean toilets.

but what does he do?

he may be a freelance colonic irrigator?

would you swap to doing something you disliked to feel free of direct authority in the workplace?

maybe you wish to only work 10 hours a week, value time above money, and will actually earn the same or less than a production line worker or postman or garbage collector?

your reaction to someone who chooses to be self employed seems strange.

is it something you wish to do? or maybe have tried to do, and failed?

100+ years ago in the USA, everyone wanted to be self sufficient, whether it was owning your own farm, or a small business. Nobody wanted to depend on someone else to make a living.

Re: How Did They Train Everyone To Want a Job?
Most people don't need training they simply accept what's there and on't question it.

Then the next layer understand that they will succeed better if they bend to the system and work with it.

The next layer feed off the system and use it to enhance their position acquiring capital and making the capital work.

One final layer remains those who sit stubbornly outside the system, motivated to change it somehow.

Did you like getting an allowance from mommy and daddy. What if they were stingy or didn't have money to give you.

Anyhoo, your own money, your own place, your own car = your own life. It is a right of passage. You kick the birds out of the nest when they are able to fly.

Its the natural progression of things.

Hunter gatherers worked an average of 14 hours per week.

It takes an external threat to make people work harder. Peer pressure, a real or imagined enemy, natural disaster, or the police to name a few. The desire to not have these things interfere with your happiness, is usually good enough. The threat being more powerful than it's execution.

it is attainable, desirable, for every person to work in a capacity that does not have them directly employed by, or subserviant to another.

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed my last meal out.

It was a little Mexican restaurant, owned by, guess who, an entrepreneur and his wife. I always tip 20%.

This wasn't meant to be a look at me thread, sorry if it comes across that way.

I am genuinely baffled by how our society has so completely changed in so little time.

I get that there are some people who are genuinely happy working for a paycheck and leaving all the other headaches to someone else. There just seems to be a whole lot more of them than there were a few decades ago.
