Every now and then, someone moves from the criticizing side to the making things side, makes something people want, and breaks into a permanent smile. It's great to see every time. 🙆‍♂️

hardship is fertile ground for compassion

not *exclusive* but I can imagine consumerism fosters dissatisfaction as a forcing function for innovation (and negative externalities too, I'm not trying to rose-colored-glasses this thing)

builders/creators/founders need a thick skin and internal alignment. they see a future, not just the problem in front of them. validation of that vision is a blessing to them

also, as a separate thesis: humans love to help. smiles beget smiles.
