Capitalism’s defenders like to boast that it rewards talent. What capitalism actually rewards is saleability, compliance, stamina, inheritance, and the ability to endure long periods of spiritual self-betrayal without becoming visibly troublesome.

At the end of the day, the whole work-life (and #nap) balance depends on understanding #opportunitycosts, which keep changing based on the stage or circumstances of your life.
This whole 70 hrs nonsense is a time sheet.

Nothing says "bubble" like the words "opportunity of a lifetime!"

In our experience there are increasing liabilities and #opportunityCosts to be on a #dotCon.

We would hear stories of its a platform to reach ppl, but those days of it being a viable platform, faded especially #post2016.

If you are about to use it effectively reach new users can create genuine social change, we salute you. Our experience is those opportunities have been closed.

The leak of the 2million on fb, permitted to have speech, speaks volumes. Maybe you are a lucky one.

“How much could I lose?” is not merely a financial question.

If I make this choice:

  • How much time could I lose?
  • How much sanity could I lose?
  • How much reputation could I lose?
  • How much happiness could I lose?

Opportunity cost is about a lot more than money.
