It's bloody difficult, but I would never say that it's a waste of time attempting to illustrate such a thing to SOME people. Many of the folk that I'm referring to are people who I care about, after all. I believe it's vital to do everything I can to rid them of their NPC mentality, and explaining certain important aspects of economics and wealth management can be surprisingly effective in achieving this... sometimes 🤷♂️.
It's intriguing how most only notice bothersome things, like that laugh, AFTER they exit the NPC world.
