They are locked inside of cubes that display really obnoxious media at them constantly where they sleep, they can choose to 'skip ads' but it costs them credits they earn by riding the stationary bike during the day.

Skipping an ad isn't cheap and they are often sexual in nature. If you close your eyes, a high pitch alarm will sound until you open them and it resumes the ad.


For 15 million merits, which take about 6 months of peddling to earn, you can buy 1 golden ticket for a chance of 'wowing' some judges who then offer the person a chance to get out of the box, as long as they are willing to sell part of their soul for it.

For the female it was showing her tits. For him it was channeling his rage into a broadcast those still in the cubes would consume 2x week.

As an electrical engineer cryptocurrencies piss me off more than just about anything. Hey let's destroy the environment for a scam. Fuck no.


Greater fool theory

In finance, the greater fool theory suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets ;items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value; if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price.

In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, on the assumption that he can probably sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit.

This only works as long as there are new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset. Eventually, investors can no longer deny that the price is out of touch with reality, at which point a sell-off can cause the price to drop significantly until it is closer to its fair value
