“everyone is confused about masculinity” 🔜 start a men’s group, run men’s retreats (okay this one is hard now)
“religion is good actually” 🔜 start a church (okay this one is also hard now)
etc. etc. and yet approximately none of these conversions are happening

for good reasons of course! we’re dealing with lockdown depression on top of whatever crazy shit we were dealing with before lockdown. all sorts of fears and confusions to sort through around money, careers, doing stuff, taking risks, working with other people, it’s a minefield

on top of just really concrete lack of social, emotional, financial resources; this is not something i talk about too much but i happen to be really lucky to be sitting on a decent pile of savings rn and i might as well use it to figure this money stuff out

is there something fundamentally evil about making money? will attempting it turn me into a sleazy salesman?
no, i can clearly see people in my orbit like and and and who are maintaining their integrity while making money

But if I were to try to actually be helpful here... I'd be willing to bet you're probably more opposed to being selfish or bad than anything else.
Which I don't think you're in much danger of becoming

that's up there somewhere for sure. i'm also worried my lack of experience will mean i forget to do something obvious and important, like idk something like i accidentally forget to pay taxes, some shit like that
my mental model of taxes – idk if it applies to your area – is like, for sloppy small business owners, if you get into any trouble about it, you might incur a fine or some other sort of cost but you're not going to get in huge trouble. that's my assumption anyway. lol
