or

loves you too much to give 180 advice

advice from people who love you tends too traditional, conservative, risk averse

they'd rather be "right" than help you

they "don't have time" to actually think through your problem and offer a real solution

or they're just convinced that for them to win, you must lose (this is most people)

Q: "in a hyper-capitalist society that has abandoned both community and the the rule of law, every single person is in competition with each other for resources. How can you trust anyone?"

A: the concept and solution is simple actually. But not easy.

There are two concepts that you will have to internalize for this solution to work:

1. Free will

The greatest gift God bestowed on mankind (not flame) is free-will. This means the freewill to not be controlled by your genes, to not to be controlled by your genetic urge to preserve the self. You can choose otherwise. Which means money isn't all that important if your goal isn't to ensure passing down your genes.

2.Immortality

You need to realize that what defines you is not your flesh and blood, but rather a combination of your ideas and your relationships with other people. You need to realize everyone is interconnected (except a selected few) and hardwired to be interconnected regardless of they like it or not. Therefore, when your physical body dies, your idea lives on through the ones that have been inspired by you and adopt your belief/practices themselves. That, is the REAL human reproduction. That, is what separates men from animals. That, is what makes us immortal.

Which brings us to the solution: you don't TRY to trust people. You just DO. It's not "giving them benefit of the doubt", it's not even a matter of forgiving them 490 times for betraying you. You simply ACCEPT that people are weak, and you have to be stronger than them to save them. Remember most people are HARDWIRED to act similarly to other people. As such, if your resolve is stronger, if your faith in humanity overcomes their trust in capitalism, they will eventually come around.

But like I said, people are weak, and so are you. You will be hurt, and you will be trampled upon. You will have doubts, and you will fall. But you can't give up. For there is no other way to achieve salvation. And as you will come to know, there's no better way to live your life, either.

This is what the Bible refers to as the "Devil". People truly sacrificing for others is extremely rare and typical only within families.

People abuse the fuck out of their kids too bro, in the past people would just straight up rape and beat the shit out of them, now that that's illegal it's been sublimated into more passive-aggressive shit but it's still there.

I appreciate your realism but much like Freud you needed an escape clause in the form of "motherly love."

The sheer horror of the world is on such a level that most people can't comprehend it. Even those predators who are actually doing the crushing, killing and raping can't fully admit to what they're seeing. In such a world, the one true act of rebellion is to have a chronic submission fetish

So many bad influences and distractions.
