Hello, friends! I'm on my second consecutive weekend of waking up early for Europe-based (virtual) conferences, so please excuse me if this is a little rambly or incoherent.
I've been thinking this week about what it means to be a helpful person. I like to think that I am one—perhaps even more helpful than average. But I'm pretty bad at self-promotion (he says in his vanity newsletter), so people don't always know the little things I do. But then again, maybe everyone else is the same way, so I don't know the little things they do. And does it really matter? It's not a competition, even though I'm very competitive.
And does doing the right thing for selfish reasons still count? Do the ends justify the means sometimes? Is all altruism ultimately selfish? Should I just go back to bed?
