You’re insightful. The experiment has proven worthwhile, now you can savor the ride.

I don’t know if this is relevant. People fall into two groups for me - those I have some emotional or ethical responsibility to and those I don’t. The first is very small, but I care deeply enough to self-sacrifice for them. Caring at all about the latter group is - no-hyperbole - incomprehensible.

Your posts are a valuable expanded perspective for my own interest in motivation and socialization patterns.

Very glad you have found these posts valuable.

Also thanks for sharing your perspective. The conditions people lay out for when they care and do not care is showing me how much nuance there is to the topic.

Avoid the why and fixate on the what. The natural human instinct will be to get distracted.

You're right about conviction too, when you have certainty, your possibility horizon expands massively.

I'm not high status, but I stopped caring what people of me think after my sis in law decided to hate me and my wife after being asked to be a bridesmaid at our wedding. It probably takes personal experience of people hating you for doing the right thing to stop caring.
