For instance, I believe it is better to make less money, but have more freedom. For me, this freedom is both physical and mental. I actually believe the saying is true,
More money, more problems
Making less money may sound bad on paper, but it comes with less headaches, less mental stress, and more physical freedom. Having a clear schedule, no meetings, nothing to maintain, and prioritizing your everyday life and personal experiences are much more important to me.
In other words, I would rather work at the very bottom of the totem pole, having the physical leisure of spending time in nature in direct sunlight, making the least money possible, while simultaneously having the freedom to pursue my art, the mental freedom to read philosophy, study AI, bitcoin, and travel the world.
The new elite are lowkey at the bottom, closest to earth, to the soil, to the ground, not in the tower, in the sky, in the ivory tower?
