I understand the morality needed to succeed and flatly reject it.

I understand the morality needed to succeed and flatly reject it.
- icelancer 3y agoChoosing to lose instead of succeed is indeed a choice. And a valid one I've made a few times. As long as you realize the tradeoff.
- shswkna 3y agoWhile this is a common attitude in western society, it does not make sense if you zoom out. Acting morally/ethically and being successful are not mutually exclusive. But it is more difficult, and it might require a more careful assessment. You only exist because every ancestor of yours, up to your single celled ancestor, succeeded in 'life'. To denounce success for its own sake, is, for lack of a better term, stupid.
