    allows you the luxury of studying to increase the value of your work output

    I’ve always wanted more value from my work output! Or contentment and self-actualization, it was one or the other.

    luxury of ennui that gives you philosophical dread on your idle hours

    I’m assuming you mean that those idle hours are the luxury? Because I’m pretty sure tedium and boredom existed in the fields and cobalt mines long before it got a fancy French name.

    others would kill to be on your not-working-in-cobalt-mines shoes while being fed and safe

    Relative privation?

    Also, is eating ramen being fed? Is it safety if you’re one illness and insurance fuckup, or a job loss and six(?) months, away from homelessness?

    this while having thrived up to an age that for most of human history has basically senility

    Extreme infant and childhood mortality explains most of the short historical lifespans. 30 was never senility.

    The same logistics and industrial development… is the one that gives you the climate change.

    Every step of towards lessening greenhouse gases brings us closer to the fall of western civilization! Fly more, abolish public transportation, eat only beef, set your AC so low you have to wear a sweater!
