I buy books constantly. For pleasure. For education. For belief correction. For stress relief. Yet, I can't bring myself to buy a book on 401(k)s, IRAs, SEPs, HSAs, et al. because the idea of spending a second of my attention on that shit feels gross.
I never have before. I've spent my time learning about and trying to build interesting things. Now I live in San Jose and the trade-offs have become stark. Pretty easy to see how the path to fuckery isn't so much indifference but a society-scale treadmill that's hard to hop off.

everybody is. I admit it's easier for me to blase because when I was deciding betwen art and AI research back in 2000, both were equally quixotic unpaid, but since then... things have changed. Now I may have friends who are millionaires but I'll never exactly go hungry
