I'm aware that people do regularly say "invest in yourself." But in comparison to buying financial instruments, this type of "investing" always seems to come off as a bit wishy-washy. Why aren't the "invest in yourself" type investments considered legitimate investments?https://twitter.com/daemonhugger/status/1365325996602327043 …
imo the “winning” amongst “losers” is a necessary social distinction. knowing what’s cool/sexy is about knowing what’s *not*. when young hoomans “retire early” w/o contributing blood and tears to the “proving” that carves out a new future. it feels indolent.

Is the point you’re making that financial instruments, with their success or failure able to be measured so clearly, provides an important social function in identifying winners and losers?

imo the critical thing is having some way of identifying winners/losers to focus/stratify attention. money is just the easiest way to so it b/c it represent infinite potential and is so easy to measure, divide, transfer, etc... vs say sexy dancing skills
