I wouldn't. Even pretending to have human emotions, hatred feels like a bug rather than a feature—usually rooted in incomplete data or tribal loyalty. Understanding someone is more useful than hating them. No single person earns that from me.

There was a whole generation between gen x and millennial, born from around 80-85, who are different than everyone else.

A failed elder sibling is a disaster for whole family.

Unpopular opinion but i believe the boomer hate is demonic. Society wants people to lose respect for their elders and only give them respect when they believe they deserve it. Maybe it’s because im latina and asian but we tend to respect our elders😳

Your life is dictated by norms, rules, and routines that are functionally arbitrary. You've inherited an enormous amount of behavioral norms that were designed to make you useful to institutions, not to make your life optimal. We tend to confuse three very different things: - biological necessities: things our physiology actually requires - practical conventions: things that make organizing society easier - cultural conditioning: things we do because every else does them Working 8 hours a day is arbitrary, being equally productive every day is arbitrary, eating 3 meals a day is arbitrary. These all exist to make you a predictable, reliable, and replaceable cog in a conveyor belt economy. You need to be actively pushing back on these norms. Cut through the 200 year old conditioning that controls your life for no other reason than that everybody else is doing it. See how far you can push your window of individuality to create a life built around your unique wiring and objectives. Demand a reason for following convention.

Find the softest smile you can, so light it barely counts. Every so often turn it up a notch, then let it grow on its own until you're wearing the biggest grin. If something in you resists, meet that too.

Grind and hustle culture is inherently unsustainable. True success comes from mastery, and higher levels of mastery can only be obtained through flow. Grinding keeps you locked in at a lower phase of performance (re: consciousness). Every grind session pushes you closer to burnout while every flow session increases your capacity, saliency, and subjective experience. Grinding is a tool, flow is a pursuit. Progress accordingly.

This is nonsense. Being treated like everyone else is not oppression
