These concepts are really hard to deal with.
First, because we are using the wrong words. You can't get there from here if you do not have a proper map.
Second, not all things are equal. Is the respect of a rich person worth more or less than the respect of an honest person? (and you have made a lot of equivalences that are not quite right.)
Third, it is the times we live in. In days of yore, we had to sell record albums. Today we sell mp3 downloads. But the most profitable has been giving it away, with a donation button nearby. But, each of these steps requires a lot of infrastructure changes. The next step is coming, but not here yet
Forth, you want something that doesn't exist for most people.
The best advice i can give during this time is to become crypto rich, and be monetarily self sufficient. And then, do what you want, and help who you can.
That helping a city from behind the scenes rarely works. In a spiritual sense, everyone in the town is part of the change. In our current time, money speaks loudest, and only those with the money can make much change. In front of, or behind the scenes.
This was most definitely an oversimplification, just trying to work out my own feelings so I didn’t provide the entire context which would have made it 4-5x longer.
So far I’ve valued the respect of people who carry similar values to me, so I’d probably choose the respect of the honest person, although if I could have both without sacrificing my values I would.
I have no illusions about how crazy this is sounds to most people 😆 this is mostly a spiritual take, so that part is bound to create a gap with anyone who isn’t a similar kind of spiritual, and also based on certain experiences I’ve had which very few people have. I tried to live without money for 2-3 years. I was taken care of and gave and receive all kinds of kindness.
I recognize some of it was pity though and I won’t be able to rely on any pity when I’m doing well for myself, nor do I want to. But not all of it was pity. I’ve so many flavors of human, and different levels of harmony vs dissonance within different types of people.
Multiply the MBTI 16 types by every interest and then multiply by every kind of priority you can, then multiple by all possible levels of self love vs self hatred, trust or naivety and a myriad of other things.
I can’t claim I’ve seen it all or know anywhere close to enough, but I know things exist that many people don’t, some that would warm the common persons heart and some that would keep them awake at night.
I see one common thread in successful people (regardless of what kind of success we are talking about) is that they put their goals or ideals first and foremost and never take their eyes off them, nor do they take failure or success personally so they constantly adapt
also with regards to crypto, if I had started this level of focus 20 years ago or 5 years ago even, I think I could have made it work without, but I do think that’s how it’ll work out for me naturally, with crypto being the game changer.
And changing a city isn’t as hard as people think, whether it’s out in front or from behind the scenes…depending on how big you see a city. I’m referring to my station, which has at least tens of thousands of people. But things are much easier to impact on Asia where people are so concentrated together.
