My boss goes to work, works his ass off, goes home, and drinks wine/eats meat/watches soccer. No real explicit trying to change the world stuff. He probably produces about a marginal ~25 million a year in value for our employer, let alone its customers.

(Using marginal kinda loosely here--by my estimation the vast majority of people they could pick to replace him would probably lead to net lost sales of that much. His total contributed value probably much higher)

Money, of course, is not the only metric! Lives improved is also a good metric. A life well lived is also a good metric. Lives improved is very difficult to look at the counterfactual though--did you materially help their structure and solve problems?

there is inherent humor in you adopting the guru mode and writing to tell people that they should guru less and write less
