Before you can fully appreciate that, you switch to school based death-worshiping style of existence designed to get you accustomed to being in an ideological prison, both in terms of how you are herded physically according to an external time schedule, and emotionally as your social interactions are carefully controlled.
Then you may get allowance, with the threat of punishment if you don't do chore. So I hear. I just got nothing much so I was quite happy to skip ahead to a menial job.
Job doesn't seem like basic income, you can get fired. Only, in a "good" economy, they are more jobs than people to fill them.
If Singapore is good.
Then you get smarter, start a company. Only most people don't. They keep being whores for a wage, and complaining that life is so hard that they need drugs to face it. Rather than thinking outside of the common box, they try to find a bigger, taller box. Less than 10% succeed at it, which is why... stuff was invented to help that. Like financial education, which differs from economic indoctrination.
Most people skip this education, and follow another common mistake, and go to a loan shark.
Years Later
So you paid back the mafia, and don't technically have to go to work anymore. You're a shareholder, a silent partner, a guy who sold out and enjoys it, but now you have no way to keep score. Except with pussy but you don't have any libido cause you fucked your hormones up to concentrate on making money, or getting into the suicide club, or whatever.
So next step is, you go be a stock broker. Practice selling hope. More profitable in the short term to do it when the hope is the future of inflation, whilst claiming that it somehow stops inflation, and other doubletalk.
This isn't enough, so create derivatives based on sub-prime mortgages.
Congratulations, you have now broken the world!
Too bad you don't have any more breast milk to drink....
