You ever think about how fucked up it is that the question most kids get asked most is “What do you want to be when you grow up”?
We all end up internalising our value to society by how we’ll strive to sell our time once we’re old enough to take part.
And yeah, it’s kinda fucked up.

I’d say a society without dreams is far more fucked up than one without them. Kids don’t think about the contribution to society of what they want to be, they simply look up to the people who do it and think “I want to be like that”.
As in,
Have you ever had a dream that, that you, um, you had, your, you— you could, you’ll do, you— you wants, you, you could do so, you— you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?
