This perfectly voices why I’ve been disenchanted with things recently. It feels exactly like that. Exponential progress at first to get you hooked on hard work, because you have the energy to find and do jobs and no perspective on how much things will eventually cost, but then the rewards for things you can do depreciate, and the cost to unlock the next balloons, and man you just can’t unlock that next tier because it’s so expensive and your jobs income could only be leveled up so far…
Bro I’m going through the same thing. The value of money and the rewards from society have completely skewed off a cliff. What’s the fucking point of working hard when it’s clearly a carrot on a stick with a sadist at the reigns. You can do everything right and still just fall off the ladder and end with nothing. Now we get to pay taxes to a truly regressive system that takes money from the poorest and puts it in the hands of the richest. While the value of the dollar collapses into stagnant incomes.
