Analyzing my cousin as a psychological case

2 posts in this topic

My cousin is an interesting figure psychologically. First he’s a hardcore capitalist. Second he’s a creationist, doesn’t believe in evolution. He’s a muslim as was the family he was raised in. I asked him once about slavery, he said that slavery was normal and it’s still practiced with football players for examples. That slave masters had slaves so that they can give them shelter and food, something along these lines. Asked him once about animals rights and veganism, he said that he doesn’t give a fuck about animals. He’s a workaholic, and love business, passive income, crypto, technology... and my father was talking to him once about me and he told him to kick me out of the house so that i remain on the streets so that i can appreciate how important money is or something like that.

he grew up in lebanon, but immigrated to the us. He says often that america is the best country in the world. But once recently he said that he wanted to live in lebanon or a muslim country because that’s where he came from. And he’s overweight/addicted to food. He’s in his 20s and he has a girlfriend but is maybe, not sure, virgin, because waiting until marriage.  

In my analysis he’s at stage blue/orange, he’s a fool, and he’s borderline psychopathic. 

Will love to hear your analyses.

A controversial point, where I think he's right, slavery IS normal, it's just a question, where you draw the line between "slavery", being "exploited" in the popcultural sense or being "exploited" in a socialist sense or as Leo says "wage slavery". Right now, if we would abolish it, without any strategic and pragmatic transition, any economy in the world would just collapse.

As an employee you always earn less than the value you generate, else the company would not be able to make profits and in todays world the incentive to get every single penny possible is gigantic as they are intervowen with the stock market and have to deliver the right numbers for their investors and if those investors stop investing, there'll be no economic growth, the stock market collapses, the companies collapse, and an awful lot of people would lose their jobs.

And about those workaholic, passive income, crypto guys. Like 95 percent wont ever get financial security and freedom as they are the perfect pigs for any company to just hold their carrot for the potential promotion, investement return. And the so called "American Dream" is the ideology, that makes you hooked up into this grand scheme. If it's an ideology made by people to pray on people like your cousins. IDK, could have emerged as uncounciouss political interests fighting against each other resulting in this ideology, but it also could be more viciously elaborated by some people, eventhough most rich people are also hooked to this ideology as a form to justify their own wealth accumulated by the thousands of lifehourse wasted by people like your cousin.

I'm not saying it is impossible to make good money as an employee, but you need a real different mindset and go meta... And still, you'll just get maybe 200k per month income, the most important thing, that you learn are skills at your job, that you can later use to start your own company. And if it starts being a grind or you don't see any possibility to develope yourself, change your job immediatly and that's generally how you move upwards positions and increase your salary, but please stay at your job until you've got your new job secured.
