Time is undoubtedly the sole resource you possess that grants you an upper hand against Jeff Bezos, provided that you are younger than him. In case you aren’t, well, then perhaps you have a better hairline?

It’s quite astonishing to consider that you hold something which even the wealthiest individual on earth isn’t going to obtain any more of. This implies that if we were in a fictitious world where everything is valued in relation to time, then you would undoubtedly be among those who possess greater purchasing power than Jeff Bezos.

And within this hypothetical world, people would have the most compelling motivation to invest their time judiciously. In fact, they might do so with even greater determination than the way we invest our money in the actual world we live in. Time would be seen as the ultimate currency, and every decision would be made with a careful consideration of its worth.

Just envision the scene where everyone simply squanders their time away like garbage by continuously scrolling on their phones without a break, or laughing uncontrollably at cat videos on TikTok, or engaging in pointless squabbles with strangers on X. Such a sight would be absolutely abhorrent to the people from that fictitious world.

They would view such behavior with utter disdain and horror, as it represents a blatant disregard for the most precious and finite commodity they possess.

Perhaps this fictitious world can serve to remind us how careless we are with our own time. After all, time is a non-renewable resource that once lost, can never be regained.
