Leave the world slightly better

I heard that from a guy on the internet: that’s his life’s aim. Significantly, his orientation comes from a religious source, though he does not display overt religiosity. Michael Malice. Let’s just put his name here because I will forget. It was on a Lex Fridman podcast.

I find the greatest pleasure in watching another person’s life transformed, as mine was. Hearing Chris Williamson’s sincere gratitude to Jordan Peterson, for instance, made my eyes well up with tears. Chris has a new life, and the world is better for it. Not because he has a podcast, but because he lives a life as a better man—to the benefit of everyone he interacts with.

Maybe this is the clue. What is my heart’s desire? What is my mission, my passion?

Quite clearly, it is dealing with people retail, one at a time. That is the direct instruction of the system that gave me a new life: we help each other one-on-one.
