#EgoDepletion
Capitalism drives ppl to burn out by exhausting the mental resources of workers.
Reading about deprivation sensitivity and ego led me to the concept of "ego depletion". Sources sum it up as saying self control is harder when one is stretched beyond their means. Mental "resources" depleted.

The ratio of poor ppl who do mutual aid every single day vs financially well off ppl who never engage it is Def disproportionate. And social contracts reinforce the idea that it's uncouth to be honest about that. Respectability politics = social darwinism.

The class warfare of student loans is another economic strategy utilizing the violence that is ego depletion.
Those who are collectivizing and using debt to mobilize against the status quo are the real ones. Just like our labor, debt can be a bargaining tool.

I am truly sorry that the #egodepletion concept did not work out – it could have been a springboard to renew the theoretical models of behaviour and affect regulation. 😔 Still hope, though, that it remains textbook material, illustrating how magnificient ideas sometimes just cannot be verified.
Roy Baumeister called ego depletion "one of the most replicable findings in social psychology." As someone who spent 20 years studying it—and ultimately had to admit it wasn't real—I have to respectfully disagree. Here's my perspective of what went so wrong.
