> The end goal is value. And value changes from community to community.
From one overstated and meaningless self-help word to another. Is that what a human exists to do? Provide "value" to the community?
> After work I play piano, chess etc and any improvement done to these are "productive" too because I'm increasing my value to my community by making music, playing chess etc.
How does that provide value to the "community"? Did you ask anyone if you playing the piano or chess provided value to them?
Funny, I play the piano, chess, etc for my own personal enjoyment. Didn't realize I had to play it for the community 's benefit. What else do I owe the community? So as I can better attune my productivity?
- cuddlybacon 5y ago> How does that provide value to the "community"? Well, you are part of the community. If you get value from playing piano or chess then you've provided value to the community. I think there are two reasons to have chosen community here. Firstly you could chose to do thinks for the benefit of someone else, if that's what you want. Secondly it gets you to think about the externalities that exist. I guess the person you are replying to thought it was obvious that a person is a member of the groups that they are a member of.
