Why am I so mad at the world?

- This rant initially started with me wondering why does thinking about dating make me angry. But then that just triggered me into, just, this whole corporate slavery mindset that I can't fucking stand. I also can't fucking stand entrepreneurs who just want money to chill and travel and that's it. [1]
- Like, have some fucking balls, have some actual goals, why are you doing this to yourself?
- It actually physically hurts me to be reminded of the existence of these people. I'm not saying this out of some altruistic concern for these people, but out of a more self-centred desire for myself. Can't I just delete all these people from my environment?
- Where are the people with actual fucking life goals, man?
- Fight for them, suffer for them, atleast you will feel alive.
- I would rather kill myself than be one of these people who has never been born at all.
[1] The women are just a subset of this whole fucked up culture, the men are equally as bad. It's just that I don't want anything from the men so I notice it less until the whole dating topic comes up.

- I don't know, I don't think being this mad at people is useful for me. These idiots are never going to change, what I can change instead is the people who I chose to hang out with.
- I almost want to commit to a rule like "If you don't want to be in the history books, go fuck yourself, I don't want your friendship."
- Honestly that's not actually a bad rule.
- Lmao I used to comment that Phil Lubin's rule of "don't befriend someone you don't wanna start a company with" was too intense. But the rule I've proposed above is actually even more intense. It's just yeah, there are many paths to the history books besides starting a company. You can become a politician, you could become a musician, you could become a philosopher or blogger, you can become a scientist, and so on. I have respect for someone attempting to become any of these people.
- I don't have as much respect for random ass scientist who just wants an academy or industry position and will then chill. I don't have respect for random ass musician who is in that career to fuck hot chicks. I don't have respect for random ass wannabe travel vloggers, well okay maybe I have a little bit of respect for it (given that they had to maybe fight parents to do it) but not a lot.
- Lol this reminds me of that song hall of fame by will.i.am
- I am willing to suffer, to make it into the history books. I want to meet others for whom this suffering is relatable. I do think shared experiences of suffering are an important way people bond.

TO DO
- (maybe) scrape entire bangalore twitter for anyone who can reasonably be classified as "wanting to be in the history books"
