I don't have better proof. For me it was enough because I also read the comments and there don't seem to be many success stories.

There is only one choice: feeling or rationality.
When you feel, you do what feels best.
When you think, you do what is the most valuable.
So no free will but that choice.
It's enough to show that escaping poverty is not trivial.
Check the YT videos of people who said the same and voluntarily tried to escape a life at the bottom. It's a comforting illusion that one could hustle onself back into 'normal' life. I have seen two attempts, and both gave up.
I am sorry. It was meant as a dark joke but totally flopped.
The link is still helpful. There is not much room for improvement if the current situation is good enough for most people.
Can ADHD be almost the right way to handle undesired work?
If one doesn't want to do work, it's straight forward to not do it. If that isn't allowed then doing everything else is the closest thing to avoiding that work. In that sense, ADHD is either a way of avoiding to be broken or the inability to integrate work into one's accepted goals.
How could it be possible to accept work that one doesn't want to do?
er und seine freunde.
Können wir mal eine Liste seiner Freunde machen? Sie sind ja die Ursache des Problems. Dann sollten wir auch wissen, was sie wollen.
Just one article about the work conditions: https://africame.factsanddetails.com/article/entry-190.html
It could be that building the pyramids was not the regular job of the laborers. It was a communal experience like going to burnig man.
Society would be different if there would be one project that everybody builds together. It would be as unifying as a big war, without the disadvantages of a war.
It's not the same because the president doesn't represent society in a democracy in the same way.
For Egypt, the pharaoh was the thing that made Egypt. Kind o like the Dalai Lama or Jesus, the pharaoh was the son of horus, the incarnation of the principle of ruling. I am not an expert but I would say that the pyramid was built for that principle and not the person itself, whereas Trump has a Trump tower to make himself known.
If it isn't Trump but e.g. Taylor Swift, I could imagine fans to build something for her, e.g. her next stage set, if she offers to provide food and housing.
For democracy though, society should build something that doesn't celebrate one person but the community. E.g. China has a day when every citizen plants a tree. When you see the effect after some years, you can feel the transforming power of the community.
People would have time to debate political issues. Their job wouldn't take the biggest part of their life so they wouldn't link their identity with their job. Social customs would change so that the people who should work 40 hours for the benefit of all prefer other jobs. Scarcity of applicants would also shift the power towards the employees for wage negotiations.
It's possible and could improve society massively, but too risky for the current business owners to implement on their own.

How should a secret society remove such a video without silencing the author?
https://xkcd.com/1425/
It is easier to do the above three things. Removing a video draws attention to it because the author will post it on other channels. Other people will upload it to check the claim that it is removed.
It's much easier to drown a problematic video in other content so that only few people discover it. So some people know the real truth, but nobody believes them or cares about them.
