I accept all excuses, but I especially recommend “I have no dreams” if you want my sympathy. Complaints about life being unfair also entertained if you make good jokes.

The internet gives us an infinite number of tools to learn anything. There are zero excuses for not waking up every morning and making use of them to pursue your dreams. ...Or you can just sit here on the internet and complain about how unfair life is.

I’ve managed to pretty cheerfully get through 45 years of life with no dreams. Distractions are a very good substitute. Complaints about life being unfair are the dawning of useful insights Excuses are the spice of coffee breaks

Afaict the emergent goal of my public persona is to be a bad influence on good people that others are trying to save/rescue/motivate/inspire/exhort. My superhero name would be Null Hypothesis.

Dragging your feet and rolling your eyes is a more potent mode of agency than doerists like to admit, which is why it can be infuriating to well-intentioned people trying to cause positive change. The trick to motivation is to drop the “positive” and just drive change.

Exhortation is not inspiration. Exhortation is the in-group amplifier drug among already-aligned and activated doers. For the inertial out-group the change-seeking tribe wants to mobilize, the key to motivation is creating disequilibrium.
