Hey, everybody. Hope you're doing well.

Stefan Molineau from Free Main.

So I wanted to do a wee little chit chat about when to pull out, when I can't get no contraception,

when to pull out of trying to change someone or trying to fix someone or trying to recover someone to a higher

ground, when should you pull out, abandon ship, so to speak? Or when should you try at all?

Because there are a lot of people, if they get attention for being broken, they don't want to be fixed.

Because they're getting attention for being broken, right?

So I wanted to put together some thoughts about ways in which you can try to determine whether

somebody is worth investing time, effort, and energy into

in order to help them get to a place of truth and integrity and virtue and so on.

Now, the first thing to look at, of course, if you want to help other people is how are you?

How are you? How are you doing? How you doing? Right? That's the first thing you have to ask.

I mean, obviously, if you want to inspire other people to be fit, you have to first be fit.

Yourself, right, obviously. So that's the first question. Are you trying to help people as a way of

avoiding your own problems? Because that is a huge deal in society.

That is a very, very big problem in society, that people try to help others in order to

avoid their own problems, to feel superior, to feel like they're better than, to feel like they have it

more together than, right? Which to say, I'm not good, but I'm better than is one of the surest

off-ramps to mediocrity in the known universe. I'm not great, but I'm better than, right? Which is, you know, the fat person who hangs

out with a slightly fatter person. Now, well, I'm not thin, but I'm thinner than that person. I'm

not smart, but I'm smarter than this person, right? And this sort of misery loves company clinging

to each other in the downward spiral is of course
