Similar question for you that I asked here. What do you think? Is more time in category 2 create a sustainable way to do more of category 1 stuff even if it's not the focus?

Yes I do think that makes sense, but I also think opposite is true as well. It's possible to self reflect through being selfless, so I think it depends on the person, and their situation.
That all being said, I think the majority of people need a ton of category 2, because we have way to many misguided people causing more harm than good with their "helping". It's kind of like how the issue of feeding the world is not an issue of food production, but that our economic system says it's better throw away than giveaway food, because it costs us to giveaway and hurts profits. So I guess that needs more people working on #2, so they can see the value of feeding people over the cost of doing so, and then we can create a new system that reflects our new values.
Geez, i think I wrote myself in a circle with this one, but I'm gonna keep that as my answer. Basically it's complicated.
Coincidentally, I just wrote a post about how longboarding is my #2, which is why I do #1 by building community through longboarding. So cool to see we are each on the same vibe, in our own ways.
