Let's see...1) Used to be we worked and studied hard like our grandparents told us to 2) Now we work hard and become someone else's tool so 3) Side hustle businesses have sprung up to give those people the illusion of having their own business 4) The key to health/happiness is to find your own independent mindset? Did I get it right? I am a mea culpa as I published my 2 books on Amazon (with little results). My son's girlfriend is Asian American Phd candidate in neurobiology. Many West Coast Asian American University grads complain about becoming $130k/yr lab rats. Genentech formed by UCB exiles and grad student exploitation? I'm from farm people, much of my happiness comes from work/reward, raising good kids, loving my wife, always building knowledge. My side hustle was building houses since in addition to being well educated, I could always work hard (I could be my own boss, spend time w kids, it felt good). Thus I'd submit that "virtue is its own reward", and writing is my revenge against the cruel world I had to work within (thankfully we live in a free country). I read "Nature" each week, and to me University research is a "good" offset to Big Pharma's "bad". Lots of good stuff out there if we can regulate the greed or if consumers are enlightened. In the end, the heroes are not the moneyed ones but those who do the right thing.
