Natties pay the small price of restricting their eating and working out a few times a week for modest gains
Enhanced people pay the larger price of paying for gear and ancillaries and accepting the health consequences of steroid use for much greater gains

The avg wagie exchanges 40ish hours of labour a week for a modest standard of living and a normal lifestyle.
Someone in a “prestigious” career or who is successful as an entrepreneur exchanges a larger portion of their time, plus prerequisite education and financial risk/upfront costs for a much higher standard of living and lavish lifestyle

Many normies will work their asses off for 40 years in their youth in exchange for a stress-free retirement where they can travel and enjoy the last of their years in a failing body. Whilst others will enjoy their youth more but will not have the guarantee of financial safety and security in old age if they make it there.

Taking drugs like amphetamines for productivity is exchanging health and future energy for today’s productivity and any rewards you can attain with that.

This rule applies to literally everything. To get greater results you either have to exchange more time, effort or risk. Of course it is not linear, there is the luck factor and your prior material conditions, but this is a good rule of thumb

Another one, you can NEET and LDAR to maintain a stress-free, easy lifestyle in exchange for a fairly low standard of living, potential loneliness and societal disrespect

Nothing is free in this world, thats the burden that humans carry since the first sin

By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

Again, this is another exchange
Yes, you will experience less stress, have to exert little effort and will not have to face rejection or adversity
But you will miss out on most of the experiences life has to offer, will have a low standard of living and will be bitterly lonely

Worth it in my eyes my trade off for not having to wage slave as much as a normal person would for daily needs and just starve myself of luxuries is a good trade offer in my eyes if it means I can spend more time alone

Yeah that too
Very noble career but not for the faint of heart
It does desensitise you after a while from what I’ve heard, for better or for worse

When you see hundreds of patients a week and are surrounded by death its hard to see them as anything but cases, problems to solve, pieces of meat on a table for surgeons even

Valid
I could never live that lifestyle but your brain chemistry decides what things you’re willing to prioritise and which you deprioritise

If you’re someone who is naturally introverted, averse to stress and that doesn’t desire much then its a nice way to live

For me though I’m very extroverted (not inherently very good socially just high desire for it) and impulsive and easily bored so that would be torture

i'm not naturally introverted I think years of constant mental overload and pressure from bullying grades and everything has forced my brain to realise the best option is to do nothing wage slave to get what I need and be a hiki for the rest of my days

I mean if you get caught ig
Dealing drugs is another exchange
Much higher risk than most careers in exchange for better pay

As for doing molly well its not overly risky but you do exchange the possibility of overdose, serotonin syndrome, or getting caught with it by the authorities for a very pleasurable experience
