When I say ā€œdoesn’t do anythingā€ I speak non-literally. I mean ā€œwhich, compared to the alternatives, has much less meaningful impact on improving other people’s livesā€

you should look into improving it instead of accepting it

It’s not a conviction I feel as a moral one. I don’t go ā€˜these are evil people who sit in their room all day’. It’s just, like, that isn’t how I prefer to live, and I wish everybody agreed with me

i’m having some chicken

I think it’s fine for me to have a general preference for people who share my values like ā€œI want to spend my time on earth improving people’s lives as much as I canā€

Shrug. Ultimately also has a lot of correction for opportunity and choice and stuff like that. Specifically the people I find myself looking down on are, like… my peers from high school with well-off parents and plenty of opportunities who ultimately choose to spend a lot of (their parents’) goddamn money on a college degree that doesn’t let them improve people’s lives. I spent my time around a lot of people like that in high school, and it’s like… you have so much, this is what you want to do with it?

i think people struggle in their own unique ways
i find it excessively hard to look down on anyone, even if i feel weird when i compare others to myself when i’m holding myself in particularly high regard on occassion

they have no. motivation
theyre not coded that way, so they don’t

right i’m doing it again

people are ultimately very complex creatures who just don’t work that way

you see power and wealth but it’s mostly just the willpower

I just wish everybody had that motivation. And I prefer being around people who do have the motivation. They are the way they are, and me being mean to them isn’t gonna change that, so I’m not. But it’ll change the company I prefer.
