Is everyones goal in life money and power?

>>2264874
No, it is social status. Money and power are just two of the most direct routes to social status. But some people take different routes, like trying to signal how virtuous they are.

i just wanna be a billionaire shut in hiki in a luxurious penthouse in mid town Manhattan and fuck higher tier prostitutes desu

Obviously not.

>>2264874
My goals are comfyness and fun. I make enough money for both now.

And pussy, don't forget pussy!

>>2264874
I do think power would be a more appropriate than money and power. People desire the power to obtain what they want whether that is something physical or mental.

It's the key to life.

I legitimately believe that 99% of men probably envision themselves as Presidents on a regular basis.

Power fantasies are fun man don't judge

>>2268270
Don't worry, I do it too.

I memorise speeches and act them out in front of the mirror with a robe I fashioned ;).

>>2268265
D-don't make fun of me.

>>2264874
I can only speak for myself, but I don't care much for either, I want lasting influence a la Marx or Plato. Why live a stressful life trying to control reality when you can influence it with your thoughts

Sure about that? I'd prefer to have enough money to live a lavish lifestyle for the rest of my life than 'social status'. What this guy said >>2264890

Jokes on you I've accepted my lot in the bottom of society and lost all hope in my late teens.

>>2268265
nah fuck being president, I'm a social autist and hate being around other people

my ideal fantasy is being rich enough to not have to ever speak to another person face to face ever again

>>2268265
I alternate between only wanting wealth and isolation to being Stalin's second coming.

>>2268356
This is actually my dream. Just have so much money that I can stay isolated in my mansion all day doing whatever there.

Okay, so suppose I do have a gf... I guess now I know my next personal goal in life.

[spoiler]Actually I just want the power (=money) to completely turn people's lives upside down on a whim.[/spoiler].

I COULD virtually beat you up

>>2264874
No, how can you be so FUCKING vapid and cynical?

I don't give a fuck about money beyond having enough of them to live in decency, less so about power.

The only thing EVERYONE wants fromlife is love, to love what they do, to love their partner, their friends, get this through your head, you cynical autsist

To disprove your assertion I only need to provide one counter example, myself. My goal in life isn't money or power, but pussy. Therefore not everyone's goal in life is money and power.

>>2269841
>The only thing EVERYONE wants fromlife is love

No. Not everyone thinks emotion is the highest pursuit.

>>2269915
>>2264874
You're both disgusting to me, people like you should be treated like the pigs you are

No. Money and power are means, the tools, to carry out your goals in life. Which is life of reduced suffering and comfort.

>>2264874
money is just a means to acquire power.

>>2268362
This. Very this.

>>2268311
Well, go buy a coffee from starbucks without money, if money is fake.

>>2269915
Money will bring you pussy. Pussy won't bring you money unless it is between your legs

>>2268265

Actually, I envision myself somehow going back in time to warn Presidents about their fuck ups or bad shit happening to them.

>"Don't drive down that road with the top down."
>"The League of Nations is a terrible idea."
>"Don't bug the Dems, it's stupid and paranoid."
>"Don't invade Iraq, you're only going to waste money and ruin international relations."
>"You're going to die during a portrait sitting, better push that Economic reform bill through before then."
>"I know you like Tom Taylor, but you can literally see this play any other night."
>"Brush your god damn teeth."

That sort of shit.

>>2264874

Everyone is motivated by either

1.) Fear of death
2.) Want of money

>"Don't bug the Dems, it's stupid and paranoid."

He didn't know about that before it happened.
