So basically anyone who isn’t a commercial success in this capitalist hellscape is a low-value individual?
This is the kind of messaging that gets across to people in the hustle culture/grindset mentality. Believing that your only value comes from your income. Just pure evil
No, this is rooted more deeply in society and is not really that new. People wrote about similar stuff in 1905 (The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber).
What a disgusting thing to say.
To be fair, she might be saying that she doesn’t think others are “low value” people, but she has a weird personal feeling about feeling like one.
'So it’s a combination of genuine passion and also a fear of being a low value individual.’
She also touched upon another aspect of her personality, saying: ‘If I could change one thing about my past, I would tell myself to enjoy myself a little bit more rather than being so riddled with anxiety. But that’s more in social settings than anything else.’
I wonder if these two concepts are linked in any way. hmmm
