"Own Nothing, Be Happy”: The System is Rigged Against Us

[Yeah Yeah]

Wake up. The world isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as intended. The wealthy, corporations, and governments have engineered a system where survival itself is a struggle. Rent for a tiny room? Soon $300 a week. Coffee? A basic necessity becoming a luxury. Food? Shrinkflation. Fuel? Through the roof. And wages? Bare minimum, leaving ordinary people scrambling just to get by.

Meanwhile, elites manipulate politics and society for their gain. Netanyahu, billion-dollar bailouts, media manipulation, social media control—all while ordinary people are gaslit, surveilled, and told to “be happy” while owning nothing.

Resist, and you’re labeled “delusional” or “broken.” Comply, and you’re trapped in a life engineered for exploitation and humiliation. Every rising price, every wage freeze, every rule designed to favor the powerful—it’s intentional. It’s systematic.

Cigarettes, fuel, rent—all engineered to keep us on the edge. And the rich? They hoard wealth, manipulate media, lobby governments, and exploit loopholes while the rest of us struggle. Corruption isn’t hidden—it’s blatant. From Netanyahu bending the West to his will, to billion-dollar bailouts, Epstein’s shadow over media and politics, to governments controlling narratives, censoring dissent, and stripping freedom of speech—the ordinary person is trapped.

If we rebel, we’re “broken,” “criminal,” or “delusional.” If we comply, we’re still trapped—starving, surveilled, forced to accept suffering as normal. There’s no escape, only rules that serve the powerful while keeping us weak.

This is deliberate. It’s engineered. And recognizing it doesn’t make you broken—it makes you human. Humanity deserves clarity, freedom, and the ability to question the system without punishment. The illusion is over. The system is rigged.

There is still a way! We're all like rats dropped in a maze, stay on track with your life purpose and stay persistent even through the toughest times. Remember why you are here and where you are going. Don't let the system trap your mind any longer, even while playing by its rules, use the social matrix in on itself.

Am I allowed to kill myself? Is death liberation?

It's not as bad as it seems, the inflation is temporary, this happens occasionally when you elect the village idiot. Just lay low and work on yourself however you can, just get by for now, it's hard times.

Survival has always been a struggle.

Killing yourself because capitalism is unfair?

We live in objectively the most fair and easiest society of the last 10,000 years.

You are so lucky to be born into such an easy life.

Stop blaming the system and start working the system to create and reap value.

You can start a business and make money. You can be creative and make money. Nothing is really stopping you but lack of ambition.

Hey Leo, big fan of your work and your concern for people. I really appreciate having this space where I can express ideas with like‑minded people — it’s genuinely helpful to get new perspectives. It’s also great to see you still popping up around the place, alive and active with your community.

I’d like to ask you a couple of things:

1. If you were a billionaire or multi‑billionaire and had a strong scheme for making profits, would you personally give away your own money? Or would you see others as part of an illusion/solipsistic reality? In other words, do you believe reaching that level of success would naturally evolve you into someone with more compassion for others — recognizing that without them you wouldn’t be so profitable — or would it push you further into seeing everything as “just a dream”?

2. On the idea of the past. You often say we live better than kings of old. I agree in many ways. But isn’t that also, on some level, imaginative — not technically real in a meta sense? How do you think about the fact that we could have been born into any other time period? Does that imply free will at some ultimate level, or is it just random appearance?

3. On wealth hoarding. Do you disagree with extremely wealthy people hoarding billions? Do you think there should be a moral limit to what one person has, even if they argue they earned it from humble beginnings? Hasn’t wealth accumulation, at some level, always relied on other people’s backs? From a naturalistic view, no part of a living organism hoards resources at the expense of the rest — all organs work together. Do you think extreme wealth hoarding is fundamentally out of harmony with human nature?

Would love to hear your perspective on these.

Wealth hording is envy projection. If I am a billionaire, I most likely have access to very little of that. All that money is simply the paper value of the business I created. I just as likely have less money in the bank than you.

Why would I give away my money? That will be an assumption someone else can spend my hard-earned better than I can. My money is doing what my vision set it up to do. I over time will distribute it in ways I see fit. And that's nobody else's business but mine.

[Breakingthewall]

All of that stuff that seems so dramatic to you is a luxury in 85% of the world.

Take a trip to Africa, where countries that are at peace and more or less functioning had a life expectancy of 50 years 20 years ago and now 65, or to the depths of South America, Asia, India, Russia, the Persian Gulf.

All of those people have lived in total misery and are now, little by little, reaching a standard of living that can be considered not absolute misery.

It seems that, like an entropic effect, rich countries are losing some of their luxuries, but even so, life in the West today is paradise compared to life anywhere else in any other era.

This is all true and there are no solutions to this, because this is just the way humanity is. Knowing this, you only really have 2 best possible options: you can either leverage your unfairly inherited abilities and circumstances - along with shitload of luck - to achieve success in life.

Or - in case you don't have any abilities/aren't lucky and/or you just don't care - you can just sort of thread along in life, contributing very little or nothing to this society. Noted, in case you pick the first option, you will still be - directly or indirectly - stomping on the heads of those below you on the socio economic ladder your entire life (which is always the case whoever you are, but especially so if you're successfull).

I naturally lean towards to second option due to my temperament and life circumstances - working as little as possible, only to mantain my health and grow my finances. Have a 2 room appartment which I'll never rent out.  I plan on having no kids. Etc. etc. A life of minimalism
