RE: Marking 500 Philosophy Exam Papers Will Crush Your Soul | A Philosopher's Diaries

I tried, many years ago, to "get out", as you so nicely put it and you know what I understood that you need the most, in order to have a chance?

Money, lots of them!

Which, of course, leads to a paradox. Something like chasing your own tail. But you are right. There is hope. And the younger you are, the stronger it should be. Don't give up and before you know it, you'll be packing your suitcases for a dreamy trip :)

Thank you so much, and that is so true. One can really get out of it, and hold onto hope (not delusional or false hope). But what you also said, and which I really did not want to say in the post, was exactly that. Getting "out" is definitely linked to one's socioeconomic status. Sadly so. I would have loved to only garden, grow my own food, and so on, but buying land big enough to do this in my country as I am sure all around the globe is beyond most people's grasp/fingertips.

But as you said, there might be a dreamy trip waiting around the corner! (P.S. thank you for the mail, I will respond soon!)
