There's this Ramen place near me that has incredible soup. The dude who runs the place puts his entire self into making the best soup he can. You don't have to change the world and save the human species, it's okay to spend your time trying to make the best soup around because you love watching people smile when they slurp your soup.
- javajosh 4y agoWonderful! Reminds me of "Jiro Dreams of Sushi". That is the quality of most human endeavor, which is neutral, or slightly positive (or negative) on the scale of protecting Life itself. Those who find true meaning and purpose at a human scale are quite fortunate. The purpose I speak of is the best purpose, in the Aristotelian sense, and so should be the purpose of global human leadership, and every individual's experience shaped by that purpose. There is still room for excellent ramen in such a world. And in fact that total commitment, the attainment of "flow", is exceptional and serves as a good example for everyone else. To save Life in the long term will be the task of millions over many years, and the work will be easier with good raman in the belly.
