This is all true, but honestly no matter how superior it may arguably be to lead an active life, some people for their own reasons and experiences just need the break. The idea that one can judge oneself based on accomplishments seems more harmful than helpful, and the pressure of such a culture would seem to be one of the primary motivators for just wanting to chill and get high. If that is how they choose to spend their lives, please remember they get there honestly like the rest of us. Edit: also wanted to add that the humanity of the world views of many of the people commenting here is a source of great hope for the future for me. You all are thinking hard about how to improve the way we think of each other, and it's really moving to see it evolve each day on this site and elsewhere.
