Reply to comment by Mynewadventures in TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos. These measures weren't enacted by the government, however, instead the entire project was financed by Samsung's life insurance division by evilclownattack

I don't recall ever needing a ruler to give a fuck about me OR that anyone other than myself has to care about my money.

Humans really are a confused bunch.

Would you consider this a privilege, or do you actually think that the entirety of humanity has that luxury?

I don't think everyone has the privelege of reading your reply to my reply to the comment of OP's content, however I do believe if you and I work together we can provide that luxury to all humanity by enshrining this moment somehow... any ideas?

OK.

Would you consider the fact that you “don’t recall ever needing a ruler to give a fuck about [you] OR that anyone other than [yourself] has to care about [your] money” a privilege, or do you actually think that the entirety of humanity has that luxury?

If it is a privelege then it is a privelege I give myself, if it is a luxury then it is because I've elevated the artform of the English language to such heights as to only have followers of the examples I set, and whether or not all of humanity wants to experience the joy that is superior communication skills is an exercise left for a given individual to attempt, occupy, pursue, or present.

You’re so close to passing the Turing test, but the lack of comprehension isn’t quite hidden by the appeal to absurdity.

I agree that the fact anyone finds me appealing is a joke in and of itself, much like the word 'privelege' and 'luxury' when compared to my cultural language of Vagus Story Hands.

Are you implying that I'm confused about something? If so, please explain and specify so that I can explain any point or confusion.

Rather liberating isn't it?

The only real difference is that I expect companies to only care about money. That makes them predictable. It's the government people that are problematic because they're supposed to be elected to represent us, but they don't in varying degrees.

If all companies only care about money then what is money and why doesn't it need so much care? Is money trying to predict human reaction profiles? They would actually succeed if they learned the Vagus Martial Arts of Ego.

Money exists because bartering is inefficient. That's all.

Teaching is indeed the superior superlative semantic shaker. That's why I just teach people how to get paid by other people who aren't me. What other lesson is there in any given economy?
