You are not a good person by default. Being a good person requires work, and that work starts by understanding who you are today and ends when you die.

You are shaped in a million ways by your parents, teachers, friends, bosses, media, algorithms, influencers, etc. It is not the mark of a good person to be passively shaped by their environment into a functioning member of society.

A good person considers how they've been shaped and actively works to change themselves to align with their personal values. Hell, examining the hodgepodge of conflicting values that society has pushed onto them is one of the biggest parts.

It is humbling, tedious, frustrating work, and many people go their whole lives without doing it. But it's worth it for the peace that comes in being proud of the person that you've made yourself into.

TL;DR: go to therapy

Can you explain this a bit?

Why not just work to change the things you don't like, and accept that you won't do it perfectly?

Christ, that's cynical

Yes!! I also recommend doing some basic joint strengthening and mobility stuff. I really like knees over toes guy and movement by David

I'll go even further - you should welcome being wrong about things.

We are all making shit up as we go, and that means that you WILL make mistakes. Seeing those mistakes as opportunities to learn and make yourself better will turn you into a better person than someone who resists admitting their mistakes.

It also was one of the things that most helped my confidence.

I see confidence as the absence of fear of messing up.

You can gain confidence by practicing until you're are good enough to not make mistakes... or you can just accept that you're not a perfect person, that you'll make mistakes, and try your best anyway.

You think the money going to private prison owners is gonna be spent on prisons???

My sweet summer child. That would be a colossal waste! You see, if instead we overcrowd and starve people, then our profits will increase. And profits MUST increase.

Yeah this should be up there with "stop, drop, and roll"

This is sick!! Would you mind sharing your config?

Don't do that.

Don't give me hope.

Right - the cost is your time instead of dollars.

I don't like doing stuff, so I give my time an hourly rate of $100. Absolute BEST case scenario (for me) would be that this is a weekend project, so call it 10 hours.

So my best case break-even point would be 10K stars. Which seems like it'd be more than I'd need?

Absurdism in philosophy is "nothing matters"ism - see the exurb1a video above.

In art, though, absurdism is what you describe.

He's Mr Grinch, so it's at least his last name (and also explains him being THE Grinch who stole christmas). It's possible that it's also his job (see "Smith"), but prefer that grinching is named after him, a la Scrooge
