My Google news feed thing on my phone constantly has these bullshit side hustle articles. I hate everything about them
I would say society, due to having money being displayed as success and intelligence, regardless of the process by which they make that money.

Sure, but also think of all the horrible people throughout history that clawed their way to power and ruled both ruthlessly and successfully.

I would blame that on outliers and survivorship bias. We don’t exactly care about the 100,000’s of years of relatively peaceful human history. There’s a reason “may you live in interesting times,” is a curse. We live in interesting times.

Peaceful relative to what? Historically, war and conflict has been the norm.

Not really. If it were, we wouldn’t have survived as a species. It’s what we focus on, but it actually makes up a very small segment of the overall human experience.
