Holy wall of text.

If you don’t want a detailed breakdown exploring possible reasons for why the situation described by OP exists, then why bother to read/post in this thread?

This thread exists because the mindset OP describes is not uncommon, but is incredibly unhealthy both to the individual and society. Without addressing the root causes enforcing this mindset, we cannot correct it or reverse the corrosive impact widespread adoption of such a philosophy can have on civilization.

OP’s described individual is pointing out a lot of uncomfortable truths about our current society. Those things being true drive a self-destructive philosophy for how individuals live their lives. Too many individuals living that philosophy is an extinction level threat to humanity.
