THE AMERICAN GOAL IS BREAKING OUT OF WAGE SLAVERY

by Michael Churchill

By the time one gets wealthy, it’s often the case that one ceases really to give a damn. Once you get to the point of independence and agency, you basically have gotten the world off your back. Then, you know, at some level it’s like “Who cares?”

The way American society is set up (total atomization combined with war of all against all i.e. capitalism), the most important goal is just to break out of wage slavery. That consumes the bulk of a man’s effort.

After that … well … it’s an open question whether one has the energy to do much else other than play golf and watch football on TV.
