is it true that material things are worthless anyway?

Everything is worthless when you consider the sun will eventually turn to a red giant and scortch the earth.

No, my penis is the most valuable thing in the world.

To me, at least.

When we die , the money we can't keep but we probably spend it all cause the pain aint cheap.

Not worthless, but not necessary for what they're assumed to bring you (happiness). You can probably read a shit ton of philosophy about it, but this truth comes from meditating, being present/accepting, etc.

It's not a spiritual thing either, a lot of it is rooted in our neurology (reward-circuit, endorphins systems, etc)

Honestly if I have a good place , can afford clothes, have a nearby gym, and can afford to travel and go to the bar I'm pretty good.

I enjoy watching my net worth rise. But nobody else knows about that but me.

I'm in a weird situation where I've recently become in control of a lot of family assets but I can't do anything outward or the rest of the family will flip. So I have to keep it on the low.

The only things that are worth your time are those that don't subtract from your mission.

Period.

Hobbies can be worthwhile, burnout is brutal.

Stupid mindless entertainment too, burnout is brutal.

A bad deal that takes instead of being equivalent or beneficial? Never worthwhile.

This is the fundamental truth of the redpill. The world is objective in reality, we all have our sample bias. Discovering your personal mission allows you to say no happily, with an excellent measuring stick.

Discover your mission.
