Regardless of the moral and ethical implications brought up in response to the individual in TFA, you’re spot on. One of my favorite reasons for creating is that it’s me against myself vs reality. Theres not an endeavor I find myself in that this is not true… of course I have the privilege of having accomplished all of my life goals from childhood at an early age, which only led to depression. So I set loftier goals only to complete them. It was only the third time around and confronting failure did it finally click that it wasn’t about accomplishing things and it was all about the journey. I was a latch key kid, so basic stuff like this and everything else that people from well adjusted families that are not poor af I’ve had to learn the hardest way possible. Which I guess in a way is a super power because now whatever I want to do I know what the learning curve looks and feels like and I know that failing a lot is the only way to crawl out of the trough of disillusionment.
