Don't think too much, you get depressed. Do like everyone else, buy shit you don't need and get likes on social media by bored strangers.
And watch Fight Club.
I've tried this. Now my house is full of consumer garbage that doesn't make me happy and in fact frustrates me by cluttering my life.
At least I don't have to find a place to store likes.
List your useless shit on a buy nothing group. Chat with the people who pick up said shit and learn about their circumstances. If they're not psychos/grifters, set up means to keep in touch. Repeat this process. Pay attention to things those people need/their circumstances, and connect people who can help each other. Encourage others you meet to do the same.
Keep it up long enough, and bam, you have the bones of a mutual aid group.
I'm talking out of my ass here, but hmm...
That's funny. I'm watching it for the first time in a long while right now. I wanted to watch Less Than Zero but I can't find it anywhere.
Rule #1?
Peoples personal truths dont need to make objective sense. This could literally be what they do. Its not trolling just because they arent posturing as an internet expert on life. This is the honesty we need. Doesnt mean we have to aspire to the same goal.
This is a bit right?
No, not at all.
The first rule of fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.
