Not work toward wealth or a decent career? That, to me, sounds like communism. What about getting wealth and taking care of it or putting it to good use, buying good stuff that doesn't come from Walmart, and taking care of it? You can buy decent tools with this money, and with those tools you can learn to take care of it (to me, that is one of the few items that is even more valuable than silver, which you can also invest in).
And, what about those who pursue a career, do a good job, and do not get fired? Even if you do get fired later, at least you have a platform to launch another career or continue this one at another firm. Skills are developed, and those skills can translate to furthering your career, starting another one, or even taking care of yourself. Can you do that pious-sneering?
Human ideas can and do change. This is why you need to cross-reference things. Your ideas may be only part right--and part wrong. Part of the process of learning from others is learning from their mistakes. Can you do that when you are forced to abide by ideas that the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger imposes? And, when they do not work, you still have to abide by them until they themselves change them. This is not how to learn from the mistakes of others.
