AWAKENING FROM THE MAGIC BULLET THEORY

There is no perfect system. There, I said it.

Capitalism is by far and away the best we have come up with, everything else ends in starvation and genocide. So when you encounter leftists who say that Capitalism is unjust just assume they want to steal more from you and give it to unproductive people.

Here’s the rub. Everyone wants a perfect system to sort out all their problems and make their lives easier.

Dream on.

Whatever you do that’s meaningful, you’re going to encounter challenges, irritations, struggles. You have to learn to breathe and communicate through them.

There is never going to be a system that eliminates work, learning and hardship. 

Adopt the mentality that personality responsibility and accomplishment are the rewards for your efforts.

Find people who support you and are able to educate you when you dive into action.
