The omnipresence of terrible advice

the thing I will be a broken record about is that no truly ambitious person will be distracted from their ambitions by simplistic attitude towards self-care or whatever

the omnipresence of terrible advice and trivial distractions is only an issue because people are susceptible to it. and people are susceptible to it because they’re gullible, impressionable, have no taste, no sense of self. that’s the real problem IMHO

but if you really know who you are, what you care about, what you want to do, and how you’re going to do it, (A)

then the rest of the world could spew an infinite amount of bullshit your way (B) and it wouldn’t bother you

but people focus on B because A is hard and scary
