I should also mention this. Jesus used the slur "hypocrite" to describe the pharisees (the ancestors of "Judaism", a made up fake religion).

The reason why it was a slur was because "hypocrite" meant "actor". In Roman society, actors were considered less than prostitutes. In fact, it was a great big scandal when one of the emperors wanted to perform in a play and participate in theater. It would've been less scandalous if he sold his body on the streets.

There are certain jobs in our society that should be denigrated because they do not bring value to society, except perhaps a few moments of entertainment. Clout chasers on social media should be treated the same way.

Thomas Jefferson imagined an entire nation of farmers who owned their land and kept it for generations.

The hierarchy is probably farmers as the most essential, then distributors / merchants, and then craftsmen and technicians. If you can't cut it as a farmer, maybe you should run a shop or be a trucker, and if you can't run a shop, be an engineer.

I think this is incredibly important for young people to understand.

Most of us will live our whole lives doing unglamorous labour and will never be a Tesla or Hitler; we won't personally change the world and have statues built of us. But there's absolutely no shame in that, rather we form the foundation that enables these exceptional individuals to have their impact. They could not do what they do without us keeping the lights on and the table full.

Especially in the West, we've created cults around exceptionalism, which is toxic as hell; either we strive to be exceptional at the expense of the (necessary) mundane tasks that maintain society (see Influencers) or we worship these exceptional, but also flawed, humans as gods.

This applies especially to young women. We don't need them to be lawyers or engineers or politicians who change the world; men can do that just fine. But we *need* them, every one or as many as possible, to have children, plural. It's not glamorous, and shouldn't be, but they should feel respected and honoured for fulfilling their responsibilities to their people, not dismissed or ignored.
