Genuinely, why not? What’s wrong with being an activist fighting for a better world?
I see your kind of disclaimer all the time and I’m baffled that anyone would actively reject this nearly universally accepted pro-social perspective.
Someone help me here
Is the risk of being seen as Naiive really so strong as to overtake the highest ideal of humanity?
- hinkley 3y agoDo something badly enough and you can create more harm than good. Negative confirmation bias being a big one. Do a half-assed job of trying to change someone's mind and they become even more recalcitrant. I long ago realized I'm not the person who should be leading a group or a club. I respect people who can, and I support them as best I can. It's important work, but it's not for me. Which sucks when the club doesn't exist (I'm currently trying to encourage a couple of people to start one and it's not going well)
