Reply to People who win the lottery make poor financial decisions because people who make good financial decisions don't buy lottery tickets. by DjHalk45

People that desire wealth haven’t gone deep enough in themselves to see what brings about desire. A quick solution seems to be to get rich and all of the sudden life is easy mode, unfortunately that is not the case you will find you still have to get up and live with yourself. Being within yourself and cultivating your own energy will bring joy, where in chasing wealth will bring a feeling of emptiness that is never nourished no matter how much one has accumulated, it is why billionaires don’t stop chasing money after making a billion dollars

Reply to comment by FeDeWould-be in The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy

Agreed the primary problem with the use of nature as resources is derived from capitalism, where even tho all the needs are met production must continue or else the whole system starts to breakdown, capitalism in its root can only exist as production is maximized for profits hence the need for perfectly usable things to be thrown away or hidden to keep prices in check. For example more than 7 times the food needed to feed the world is thrown away each yeR
