If you want money to matter less, withdraw as much time as possible from financialized pools.

I suspect this is the reason people find social media oppressive and extractive. They don’t know how to pay attention in ways that are hard to turn into money and useless to the algorithms. That’s what shitposting is. Being useless to the time-money transformer algorithms.

I should write a thing “the art of being useless”
I mean I’m already the guy stanning mediocrity, it’s not like my reputation has much further to plummet 🤣
Notable that it’s the “money” people (all flavors) who seem most offended by my mediocrity-stanning

Being mediocre is actually a great way to definancialize anything. 80-20 principle. The first 80% of utility is 20% of the financial value, the last 20% is 80%.

Another way is to way overdo the excellence. 6-sigma to 9-sigma is high value. 1-sigma and 12-sigma are both generally low value. But 1-sigma is way easier.

I’d estimate about 80% of the output of my life in the last decade is too shitposty to meter or monetize. That’s how I stick it to the Man. And the Masses.

Note: “Free” is a monetary idea. If you want various things to be free, you’re still trapped in a money frame. “The best things in life are free” is bullshit. They tend to be valued in post-money ways.

To be clear, I’ve always been like this, even when I had no money. This is not about the marginal value of money going towards zero as you get more with age and savings. It’s about having a higher dimensional space of value with non-money vectors.
