You can “sacrifice” unexamined assumptions of “necessity” without sacrificing anyone’s personal enjoyment of life. Some people who are very good at this kind of prioritization are not extremely personally ascetic, but they do really care about their goal.

The only actually good metric of whether someone cares about the Outcome is whether the Outcome improves due to their actions.

Most people aren’t anywhere *near* doing “everything in their power” to improve an Outcome.

Selectively saying “oh he has a frivolous hobby so he doesn’t Really Care” is not informative. Basically nobody Really Cares to the point of cutting out everything extraneous. Even the people living on spartan fare and being “productive” 12 hours a day.

(IME, many of the people who are “devoting all their waking moments” to a Cause and looking down on everyone else for being selfish, are only doing the types of “work” that are fun for them.)

(Like, I can write 12 hours a day too! That’s because I LIKE IT. It’s not a sacrifice.)

Nobody “Actually Cares” about Saving Lives as much as idealist rhetoric or fiction says heroes do. Even the people who actually do save the most lives.

If you want to know who Really Cares about saving lives or the future of humanity or w/e, look at how much positive impact they’ve had on COVID19.

lol, I think he just wants to help autodidacts while also plausibly deniably adversarially meta-dwelling about one or more persons, maybe. (oh yes, one can do both).
