I'm going to post this on the fridge. Thought it might help us remember that we are getting somewhere. It's funny, how we expect money to buy happiness even when we know better. I heard someone say once that shrinks for rich people have to be paid exorbitantly just so they can empathize. If a person already has what they need to live, more money really only increases your comfort, and perhaps reduces stress, and for that, not as much as one might think. I suppose it's like expecting air conditioning to improve relationships or your self-esteem, beyond making us more pleasant to be around on a hot day. I think we don't like to let go of this fallacy because it's comforting to think that X would solve most of our problems. If we know what X is, we're halfway there right? And most of us could plot a course towards making more money even if we don't run it. I personally couldn't say the same about being a better spouse or parent.
Computers are so stupid, you have to tell them everything and even then they reserve the right to wig out.
