It is a mental desease. If I hoard umfathomble amount of newspapers, I would be called a messi. If it is capital wealth, someone is a genius. They collect to fullfill an emptness in themself. It is a delusion. It is never enough and only the continiues ammassing can give them the feeling of success and control. Consumption as a Stimulus. It is not about the amount, it is about the growth. The way you took to the next number/amount. Distancing yourself further from the others. While getting confirmed by enjoying, what many can not affort. Wealth is the main storyline that is understood by every generation and culture around the world and is a globally accepted metric for desire and standing.

There is no Endgame. But a good perspective for them would be something like Elysium, while for us it is more like Gattaca - at best.

Using a real wooden Chair. For 20 Years now, I use a normal wooden chair for my PC Work instead of a office chair. If I want to turn around, I (my back) does it, not my chair. If I want to get closer, I do it, not my chair. Up? Down? Change sitting position. I have no scientific proof, but I feel like moving my own body, finding positions to sit and moving around on it did better to my back than sitting motionless in a padded office chair swiffeling around while my back degraded further and further. At least my office-chair-colleague around me constantly talk about back problems and then go and buy an even more expensive office chair where they even have to move less. But you want to move more, not less for your back to not deteriorate

Buy a chair where you yourself move with your back, not a chair that prevents your body from moving. Also, switch between standing and sitting multiple times a day if you can. Keep Moving. Keep those joints and muscles in motions.

I can see how nobody blew the whistle, leave his cushy job, prepare for 3-5 years of juristical drama exposing your name and image only to spend the rest of your live living in check notes… Russia.
