>>Now if it only would reflect on the real world, that would be nice.
Hope is nice, actually saving starving people from starving would be better.
<< it applies, but not at face level

>>Sorry if i'm bitter, but there is precedent.
<< No worries. Noted.

>>What do you think on agency in the real world, is individual contribution relevant?
<<Highly. The salvation of the whole requires individual rescue. Having a single person do all the work is neglectful of the entire system being dependent on a single focal point with a finite lifespan and resources. For example, if a single person was able to make sure everyone in the world was fed for a whole year- but they themselves died the next, humanity would not be any better off except by a year. Thinking of the "big picture", it would be better for many individuals to do what they could manage in perpetuity, and maintain that as a tradition. Does that mean the aforementioned individual gets to write it out because others helped? No. It means that in addition to solving the hunger problem- humanity is solving the mutual-aid problem as a whole.

There's a fond saying I like to reminiscence about.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
