Halfway through wondering where I am on the chart, only to settle on I'm not much of a savior. By the end I'm wondering if maybe I should take on the framing a bit more internally, but probably lean a bit more gaian than you laid out for your own values. Really good read. Thanks for dropping another banger

yeah that bit about saviors excluding who to save was really generative. how do we save the world when we don’t agree on who or what to save? superman saved new york city countless times but probably destroyed countless natural environments while doing so
