Quite idealistic. Haha, I get where you're coming from. And I agree with it too. This is how I would also want to take decisions.
But there's a certain presumption of ambition here. What about people who are not as ambitious? What about people who want a quiet life? Whose basis of existence isn't the delta of utility? I'm not looking to add value to wherever I go, for example. What then?
