    Everything is about money, not about having an actual human experience.

    Human experience is still there, everywhere. You have to make the effort to get out of your burrow and do things outside with physical people.

      It’s hard to make an effort when all your energy goes into survival. Wasn’t the point of “civilization” to not have to worry about all of that?

        Yes it should, but modernity also made us less reliant on the group and I think it made use more introvert and more social risk averse. This is something that can be worked on with reasonable cost.

      Human experience has been almost entirely privatized. If you’re poor, you’re denied most of it.

        What do you mean by that? Go find a sport/hobby. Clubs aren’t expensive at all.

          Human experience isn’t just hanging out with other people. It includes going to other places, experiencing what the world has to offer. You can’t do much of that, if any, when you’re living paycheck to paycheck like most people.

            In social countries, they give you money for hobbies if you have low salaries.

              Holy shit. One more little reason to hope the civil war comes quickly so I can flee as a refugee to a semi-civilized country.

        Are non-profit associations rare in your place? They are very present around me, all my hobbies are covered.

        Try to find an association near your place, sports, arts, gardening, nature exploration, table top games, whatever you like.

        As a default, a spouse and kids will rope you into decades of regular social interaction.
