If you’ve got the money for booze, you have access to the information age. All it takes is three working brain cells to look up the effects of alcohol.
In the past, when we were kids, it was possible to put off going to the library to look up something like the health effects of alcohol for your entire shortened life. Now, that library is in your pocket. People were mocked and ridiculed as nerds back in the day. Now, the tables are turned entirely. If you’re too stupid to look up whatever thing, you will get the same level of ostracization and ridicule that was once limited to the rare person motivated to try and do casual research. People always push away the unfamiliar. The line in the sand changes. That kind of behavior also costs everyone a fortune in the ameliorated medical expenses, so accessibility is curbed through cost.
Plus in the western world, banks have been allowed to plunder the cost of living until we are totally non competitive with most of Asia. The cost of living is the real reason “”“nobody wants to work”“” and businesses turn to exploitation and theft of ownership. Those that used to drink and barely get by are now homeless, while the middle lives paycheck to paycheck, and the rest only have inherited wealth, which has no meritocratic filter and leads to rot and irrelevance. That last one is the real root of all of our cultural problems. Eliminate inheritance of anything more than funding an upper middle class life, for life, and all the problems go away with time. No loop holes, no medieval dynastic nonsense; intelligence and business acumen is not hereditary.
