Serious Does wageslaving make you dumber?

[Meus]

Most wageslaves are fucking zombies, especially if they have families.

If you "contribute" you have automatic self-worth (just like having children) and you don't need to stay intellectually sharp.

As a NEET you fight every day a colossal struggle to generate scarce self-worth and that means reading as much as possible about the world. I interacted with a family member who has a good career and he legits knows fucking nothing. Normies only think in terms of usefulness. They find nothing inherently interesting. As a lonely reject there is no barrier between you and the world. You are far more in touch with everything and don't live in a bubble like normshits.

I think growing older has made me dumber more than anything.
My work keeps me sharp.
My brain gets fucking stupid when I go on holidays.

Not dumber, but busier and therefore less time to read up on things, and therefore more ignorant and therefore more bluepilled

Yes it takes away your ability to critical thinking and creativity and turns you into a drone that does reparative tasks

 

[Fancy Alcoholic]

Yes. Working is shit. There's a reason why Roman Chads dominus had slaves to do all the shit.

Explains why I’m so smart

No. This is cope. Rotting at home makes you more braindead. Your job should ideally require some thinking and physical activity. Thats what keeps you the healthy

I agree.
when I had a "social life" I was forced to interact with people who challenged my perspective on things.
now my opinions are undisputed because there's no one to interact with, so I don't even need to think or to justify my point of view.

Guys like you prove that even men can excel at mental gymnastics

You seem to be missing the point of knowledge, the entire point of knowledge is to make use of it, if you just know for the sake of knowing, what you know is currently useless

Reading is a waste of time if you aren't applying the knowledge (and NEETs don't do shit)

So even if your argument did make any sense (which it doesn't) at the end of the day what you have is a collection of knowledge you will never use in any real way to improve your life, you are basically just wasting storage space in your brain

Normies only think in terms of usefulness

No that's what humanity does period, you know, that way of thinking that got us to the point where you can even communicate as we do right now

The internet and all the technology that makes it possible would not have existed if people didn't think like this

Are you seriously trying to argue that people should put time and effort into "useless" things, please don't be a retard, quit while you're behind this thread is retarded

 

[Linesnap99]

it does because you are only focused on one thing ie slave work.

 

[BlkPillPres]

No. This is cope. Rotting at home makes you more braindead. Your job should ideally require some thinking and physical activity. Thats what keeps you the healthy

Exactly, this guy is an example of peak retardation on this forum

Staying home and being broke and "muh reading books" will not make you more intelligence, and intelligence only has any worth anyways if you can apply it to real life problems

I think you have it backwards, people who can't think critically or creatively end up staying wage slaves, its not wage slaving that made them that way, they were like that to begin with, people fall into the mold that fits them

I mean my college has had distance studying since last March. I didnt get a summer job and decided to do some summer courses. Then back to 23 hours at home in the fall. I could actively feel myself becoming more stupid as time went on. Now I got a job but I cant relate to people at all. Before covid I was able to at least larp relating with some normies.
