ネットで成功例も失敗例も大量に見えるようになって、自分の努力の期待値をかなり早い段階で計算する人が増えた。 AGIひいてはASI誕生で人間の努力が無価値になる時代に備えて、一部は若いうちにアドを取るために爆走し、残りは「今からやってもどうせ追いつけない」と判断して寝そべっている。

「20代でハードワークしなかった人は金持ちになれない」と聞くたびに思う。私は20代でお局のいじめに耐え、介護職で心を削り、コンビニ配送で残業100時間超えも経験した。結果どうなったか？ 金持ちどころか、うつ病を抱えた無能底辺アラフォーの完成だ。この手の話はエビデンスがない。

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely. The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience. Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.
