00:00:00.000 The salary is the fucking drug people give you

00:00:02.200 to get you to forget about your dreams.

00:00:03.880 You should never work in an environment

00:00:05.180 where you're not compensating for producing more.

00:00:07.720 If I know that I'm fixed on what I'm gonna make,

00:00:10.600 then there's no motivation to wanna create.

00:00:13.040 You do this, I pay this.

00:00:14.460 But you almost like forget

00:00:15.640 this world was built on dreams and possibilities.

00:00:18.860 And the reason why there's this concept of a salary

00:00:21.000 is just it's the easiest way to manage a lot of people.

00:00:24.040 It's literally designed because it's easy for society

00:00:27.540 to control a lot of people at scale.

00:00:30.120 So they sell you on the idea and you never question it.
