Should you do what you feel like or what society wants you to be?

· Bits and Bobs 1/26/26
  • Should you do what you feel like or what society wants you to be?
    • The answer isn't simple in the first order.
    • What you want doesn't think about the externalities.
      • Your want is by default selfish.
      • If everyone did what they wanted, society would erode.
      • There needs to be some balance.
    • But the answer is simple in the second order.
      • What you want to want--what you'd be proud to do--does think about the externalities.
      • We should all live aligned with our aspirations, always.
