Tracking this back, looks like the guy's actually know as Hamper Henry, which is a worse name.

Imagine moving into a new house and finding a crayon-written note from an unknown child telling you there's a monster in the attic of the house you just moved into. Bad vibes.

That dream house is spooking me out a bit. Amazing.

Reading the whole quote, especially that whole paragraph, it appears that Marx is saying that opium is both medicine and drug. It is both a comfort and an escape. It's a way for dealing with the suffering of reality -- without actually engaging with reality. At least that's my read.

Whichever archaeologist recovered that is now bound in a duel with a medieval ghost. They should have been more cautious

I feel like all financial advice (uttered by the deranged to make people feel guilty about not living up to their personal responsibility) is delivered as if it is mystical knowledge passed down through the ages. When in fact, economies change so often that it wasn't even relevant 20 years before it was created, and is no longer relevant today. Like, were people using government savings plans and putting aside 10% of cheques in 1850? We're they creating education savings plans in 1900? Heck, banks did most of the work for people in managing finances in the 1950's - work thats now downloaded onto every individual to try to scam them through making The Wrong Choice.

Finance Capitalist Realism

I love these deranged financial rules of thumb developed in a tiny slice of time in america that everyone is supposed to live by.

30% to housing, 10% to cars

These were made in the 70s and 80s I guess? Not only is today so different that these guidelines are fucking stupid, but even in the 70s the world was still recovering from post war boom. Prior to WW2 the economy was completely different! People didn't save, there were widespread recessions, from nance didn't have the stranglehold that it did moving into the 70s and 80s too.

I bet someone looked at their finances in like August 1976 and made up rules that persist to this day and are absolute fantasy

I just play viking Minecraft. Valheim. It's fun too. Every game is Minecraft

I bet he carries like, 2-3 folding chairs in each hand!
