OK, but objectively, he's succeeding at being a better me than I am.

No, he really isn't. Last I checked you're not into exporting a million slaves to mars and then blockading the earth with space junk. I hope?

Tempting, but I don't think I'm sufficiently ruthless to actually go thru with it. I think me going overboard on generosity in the past has shown that.

Anyway, I clearly don't have the right skill set :)

There's enough things to do for it not to be a hindrance, imo.

How do you mean? Who/what is "it" in your sentence?

"It" being the things Elon or whoever else is doing better than you at the moment. There is a finite set of things they can do, and an even smaller subset that they are interested in doing, and an EVEN smaller subset of that that they would end up doing in their lifetimes. The set of problems that humanity is facing seems much larger to me, and I would assume it's just a matter of either putting your weight behind something you care about as you have been doing, because every worthy cause can do with as much support as it gets, or you find something more niche that others haven't thrown their weight behind for example.

Thank you! I tried to help with OSMS last year. It felt unsatisfying. I'd turn stuff in, send out new designs, and people would thank Gui. Gui's a good guy but this made me like him less, although I'm rational enough to know that it's not his fault.
