I usually think about stuff like improving health because if you're healthier you'll look and feel better and probably behave better towards other people if you aren't taking the anger one has about one's health problems upon others.
Aside from genetically engineering everyone until they're fit super-healing SSJ brimming with enthusiasm and optimism it makes me wonder what other stuff we might do culturally.
Are there memes we should spread? Either valuable for their own sake or for counteracting detracting memes?
I don't like a 'memes we should kill' approach because that's no guarantee and makes it seem too powerful, an inferior meme would be disempowered by exposure to a superior one.
Sometimes I think about what I could do alone or in cooperating with others to somehow just make everyone happier.
Like maybe if we were collectively less bitter we'd more readily open our hearts to a wider variety of people (for friendship or romance) and create a positive feedback loop.
It seems like there are a lot of negative feedback loops going on where we get more miserable, more unhealthy, and more defensive closing ourselves off frmo others, being pickier about who we give the time of day due to pessimistic assumptions about others, etc.
It's so bad that any effort I can think of just seems inconsequential. If I planted a bunch of flowers, picked up a bunch of litter, how much change could I create?
I just fear rather than improving others, I woudl be a cuck that others would laugh at.
At the same time, maybe that's a good way to pick out the poisonous from the good because the good minority hopefully would not laugh and might flock to me in response to seeing me do good.
This is at least how I used to think more often. It's harder to maintain this mindset these days. I'm thinking maybe this is not what people react to, that even a girl who seemed good would still hamster this like I'm a villain trying to manipulate her w/ good works (I am trying to manipulate opinions but why is that villainous? I'll admit to it, villains are those who hide their motives, right?)
Whereas chad who goes out and litters is 'setting her free' to love his cock w/o doing anything but basking for her to approach. So he'll be the 'misunderstood good guy'.
