Oh god reminds me of all the influencers and “gurus” selling courses. Young people are vulnerable, I was there once. These gurus… they’re not telling you that the money is inherited, debt, married in to, or from their scam courses.

Cigarette's keep the economy moving, and alchohol runs rampant or not at all.
Seems you gotta be addicted to something to keep going in life.
But the tears in the beer foam don't make the whole pint bad I suppose.
Still gotta drink it down and have a smoke to have passion in such a world.

Didn't expect to see a guy who fell for a podcast course scam in this manga
Everyone thinks that they’re immune from being a sucker, but the truth is that we’re all one bad day away from worshipping a guy who tells his followers to buy his herbal supplements.

We all gotta be vigilant.

So about this chapter...

1. Who was the girl at the beginning?

2. "What's so bad about mother Teresa?" Girl, apparently a lot. I don't really remember the specifics, but there were some news about her recently and she might have cause a lot of harm.

According to a paper by Canadian academics Serge Larivée, Geneviève Chénard and Carole Sénéchal, Mother Teresa's clinics received millions of dollars in donations but lacked medical care, systematic diagnosis, necessary nutrition, and sufficient analgesics for those in pain.
Doctors criticize the lack of medical care in hospices, where patients most often receive neither treatment nor even pain relief. While investigating the conditions of care and hygiene in the Missionaries of Charity centers, Aroup Chatterjee, author of Mother Teresa: The Untold Story, discovered that syringes were used repeatedly, expired medications were used, children were tied to their beds, and aspirin was rarely used.

My takeaway from this chapter is that apparently the revision of view on Mother Teresa hasn't been as impactful in Japan- which is perhaps unsurprising.
Or the other examples of volunteering works in history are so unknown that the author chose to keep Mother Teresa in for being easier to understand.

Ughhhhh this one hits personally for me. Er, not EXACTLY for me, but I know way too many people who bought into or have successfully become these business guru conmen. And they genuinely believe it and have succeeded from it. The thing is, you have to be a very... specific... type of person to succeed in this. A type of person with very few morals and knows how to get into the good graces of other successful conmen.

I hate it.

I hate it so much.

All these tech startup young billionaire CEOs? They genuinely believe that what they are doing is right and worldchanging and the lifeless grind paid off cause they're the specialist most amazing big boys, and don't realize that they have lost incredibly important things along the way (or never had it to begin with). Respect for other humans, non-fiscal/transactional socializing, general common knowledge, and humility, to name just a few. I'm glad this kid managed to realize and escape this before he lost those too

Am I jealous of them? Maybe. I'm jealous that they have so much money and so few thought for others that they can see the state of the world right now and think absolutely nothing of it (or actively make it worse). I'm jealous that they know so little outside their particular rich people sphere that they do not care about others at all. I'm jealous that they are so decisive and secure in their personal gains that they no longer need to fear the future or those that propped them up falling in the process. But then I look at my interests I love, the non-grind related skills I cultivated, and my genuine friends and human connections, and I feel much richer than they will ever be. I can't be envious of being unable to care, no matter how much pain comes with it

I’m not really sure if it’s just me but these last few chapters have felt a little lackluster or just missing something. It feels a little short and the time we spend with these new students just isn’t enough for us to properly connect with them the way we were able to with last class. The class interactions are also not as fleshed out imo which leads to this cast feeling weaker and more one dimensional.
