It’s a lot harder to be an effective person than a well meaning one. I knew some people who tried to get an intentional community together and it was three or for professionally successful people and a lot of people who could burn up a meeting with talk but not much else.

Getting things done without doing anything shady or unethical is sort of like winning a race while running on one leg.
