    Here's my theory.

    1. On a personal level
    Its ultra high pressure. Everyone expects you to produce a succesful solution every time without fail... its not possible to do one project badly. You have to somehow be creatively at your best in avariety of scenarios and always under the same pressures

    2. On a philosophical level
    You (we) are the people selling this planet into oblivion. The whole shitty mess we're in is the result of aspirational desire which is created by marketing and creative thinking, so you find yourself one day selling the world to hell in a matt black handbasket and you realise the position of responsibility to hold for the state of things.

    3. On a Financial level
    You can't believe your luck when you hit pay dirt for the first time and immediately construct a lifestyle around yourself to reflect your status and opulence. Your due status and opulence always exceeds your actual wealth by 4 times so you go from being immeasurably rich to being seriously indebted within a year. You have so much to support then, so much to maintain, and your loving family expects this of you.

    You know you can't maintain point 01, and you know you're being chased by point 02, and you could give up and dave yourself but for the details of point three. You are trapped by expectation, by obligation, by pride so you reach for the emergency exit.

    • "dave yourself" is a high level expression meaning errr, "Save Yourself"Spookytim
