Yes, I would rather save my selfish excitement until after we take care of the suffering of others. I WOULD get excited if we housed every person that needed a house, maybe someone could focus on that "technical improvement" for once.

All support science, technology, art, culture form all government in the world should be stopped as long as there is a single person without housing in the world? How about education, that a luxury too right? Do we really need new trains or subways as long as there people without housing? Why try to solve climate change, people are suffering now, right?

Are you pure nationalist or are you applying this logic globally? Would you literally support the US stopping all spending on all those things? And invest all of that in helping people in places like South Sudan or Indonesia?
