Missing the big point
This Aeon article about the pain of rejection gets a lot of things right, including the dynamic nature of perception, but misses the BIG POINT.
Rejection isn't about "social support" or poverty, it's about BEING NEEDED AND USEFUL. Depression and drugs and suicide are spreading in Sorosian lands among people who are NO LONGER NEEDED.
Cults prove the point by showing the opposite. The most successful cults are slave economies. From Moonies to ISIS to Tesla Technoids, the cult members happily work their asses off and sacrifice their lives for low pay or zero pay, BECAUSE THE CULT GIVES THEM A PURPOSE.
LIFE IS PURPOSE.
Each gene defines a purpose for a cell or organ or tissue or behavior, and the implementation is optional and varied.
For people who are innately and incurably unwanted, the solution is to find a way for your WORK or PRODUCT to be wanted. It's not the same as being loved, but it's the only way to survive.
As more and more skills are offshored or displaced by technology, the range of available human skills gets narrower and narrower, so the available field for this cure is smaller and smaller. Graybill.
This is, of course, fully intentional. NYC is the opposite of a cult leader. NYC's purpose is to KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL everything outside NYC.
