But at which time should we invest money to avoid it in the first place? In school or right after school, because if people are looking for jobs, they have no money and might get bad thoughts.

Humans should be taken care of from the get-go. Not from this or that age.

I am still not far enough in the book "The Origin of Most Problems" to talk about it a lot, but I somehow miss realistic solutions.

The first part is a story, of about 100 pages long, after that we get into the "facts" part of it. And the book is not about the solutions as it is about the problem. It is a book that argue this is the most important aspect: to understand what the problem is.

There are only claims and the hero proves somehow irrelevant points, because they don't lead to a solution.

Read the book not a bit of it, in order to judge it please.

I lived for 3 decades now and I've come across such short messages all the time. I was never as confused. But ok, at least you can ask and we can reply. So that's fine. I do not see how the message from this image is confusing. It is a question....if a man is arrested so many times for theft and it costs the tribe so much money to deal with him, would he still steal if they were to give the money to him?

Is similar to: most people do drugs because they are unhappy and poor, yet USA invests a lot of money in criminalizing the drugs. Would these people still do drugs if the USA would pour those money in social programs and help these people?

These do not need much context.....they are quite obvious I'd say.

I gave you a random and invented example to bring home the point about misinterpreting small bits of text. And you got that one right but not the original post.

Happiness Index? I wonder what is that about.

There are lots of statistic sand documentaries about drugs and who or why they consume. videoneat.com/?s=drugs here - many poor people and homeless ones, end up drug addicts simply because of the harsh life they have to endure. The drug use in those that are not poor, is also related to their unhappy life, but of course also influenced by all sort of media that they consume, and by those who sell the drugs.

Mexico and Columbia are in the top 5 on the Happy Planet Index, yet they are huge drug producers (and consumers).

Mexico is bordering the biggest market in the world, USA. Of course they are making a business out of it.

I am well aware of the example in Portugal and we probably give that example in the book from where this quote is. Actually I should have linked to it sooner tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d… - if not is in another one.

I do not make "weird" points at all, all of our books are factual and sourced so much they are bleeding. Yes we use some stories at times, that are fictional, to add up to the point we try to make. But this is rare.
