Moneymaking Schemas

Everybody wants to be naked and famous.

When a person’s creative capacity is damaged from abuse experienced in childhood, they go into adulthood with a lot of trouble. If they manage to find a way to make a living, which is a more and more difficult prospect, they tend to lock in on the manner of being that got them their keep.

There aren’t that many subpersonalities that people adopt to make their money:
-the Super Confident Salesman
-the order-following Government Worker (this is like 50% of the economy or more)
-the Harlot
-the Artist
-the Scrooge McDuck
-the Welfare Leech
-the Grinder
-the Healer
-the Ghey Champagne Socialist
-the pervy Schemer
-the short attention span Vendor

There are maybe that many more again and that’s about it. These are time-tested personality strategies. The worst ones are the government-based ones where you’re extracting resources via force or fraud.

Capitalism, baby!

It should come as no surprise that because we haven’t lived in a Bitcoin-based monetary order, a larger share of the subpersonalities available to people are grody and skeezy. Yet there are benign, effective elements to each one. Briefly, for example:

-Scrooge McDucks help us balance the books
-the Harlot can use glamour and allure to make sales
-the Grinder can come through in the clutch
-the Ghey Champagne Socialist uh… likes city living and that’s nice
-the flitty Vendor helps us churn when churning needs to be done

Everyone has to go earn a buck.

Absent government means, it’s the best personality-building exercise we can engage in.

The key phrase to point to from earlier is the locking in.

People who have not processed the captivity they went through in childhood will recreate this captivity in adulthood. They will “lock in” on a persona as soon as they establish a career and are much less likely to question themselves in constructive manner from that point onwards.

The more predatory a person’s career, the more damage they will engender.

We don’t want a bunch of unquestioning sociopaths floating around. To the extent a person is inflexible in their personality when presented with relevant, accurate, critical feedback - they remain sociopathic. Sociopathy isn’t limited to 2% of the population - it is a communicable disease.

There is a great temptation to clutch the money scheme and harden like a statue.

But there is no peace in doing that, just a steady disillusionment that builds and builds - typically reaching its final form by a person’s late 30’s where it ever remains the same thereafter.

Too much destabilization also means you can’t keep the burn rate going. But I’m not going to talk about that today.

There’s much more I could say here but I’ll leave a little intrigue. Donate if you want more.
