Retirement: A Dream We All Lie About

We were raised to believe retirement is the prize.
Work hard, grind for decades, and someday—finally—you get to “stop being useful.” The story sounds comforting, but the truth underneath it is bleak: it’s not liberation. It’s surrender. It’s a cultural script designed to make exploitation feel noble and aging feel like disappearance.

This video pulls the veil off that script.

I break down why retirement became the “pinnacle,” why it feels hollow even to the people chasing it, and how the emotional architecture of our society still mirrors old feudal systems dressed up in modern language. Your worth is tied to your output, your value expires when your labor stops being extractable, and the entire structure quietly encourages you to fade out when you’re no longer profitable.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We explore:
• How retirement became a culturally accepted dead-end
• Why the tension we feel toward it is natural, not selfish
• The feudal ghost hiding inside our economic and political systems
• The lie of unearned wealth and how it props up the entire hierarchy
• What a society looks like when people aren’t treated as disposable inputs
• How decentralized, neighborhood-level democracy can replace the old political machinery
• Why justice, governance, and prosperity need a full-system rewrite—not patchwork reforms
• And how a world beyond extraction is not utopian—it’s overdue

This isn’t a motivational video.
It’s a dismantling.

If you’ve ever felt that quiet panic about “the endgame,” if you’ve ever sensed that retirement feels more like erasure than arrival, if you’ve ever wondered why our system still treats people like they have expiration dates—this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

It’s time to spit out the lie.
It’s time to build something worthy of us.

Watch until the end.
Your future deserves a better script.
