Playground bullies do prosper – and go on to earn more in middle age
Makes sense. If you're willing to take advantage of others, you can get advantages.
And these days, retaliation against adult bullies is not so straight forward.

This is the real crux. Nowaday, I feel I can only do good through personal and community work. Professional work mostly involves being told to cut corners, mislead people and jack prices to grow the company infinitely.
While, frankly, I think infinite growth is one of the most damaging ideas in human history

Blizzard locks you out of account if you don't agree to new terms; no ownership, forced arbitration
His point around 7:20 is very important. It's a trap of which I am definitely a victim:
" 'Just hit accept and play. You aren't important or powerful enough to spend brainpower on this.'
It's not about whether or not I believe that there will be a societally important reason that I personally sue Blizzard [...] It's about this very slow erosion of rights and the lowering expectations. "
My expectations of corperations is eroded as fuck mane. I literally accept that they are taking advantage of me because 'that's just how it is'.

Exactly... and on the flip side, standing up for workplace injustice is a sign of insubordination and is punished. Even objectively discussing power dynamics gets a negative/uncomfortable reaction in my experience.

think of the shareholders
Lol! I already have fulfilling hobbies and personal projects, and they have clear room for expansion. It's your own fault if employment is the only way you feel anything.

A common landlord technique is putting a minimum down payment on a house and having their renters pay off the morgage. I think the above commenter is saying that it should not be allowed to get a massive loan on a house that you aren't going to live in.
