Do you legit want to have a want to have a conversation with me about philosophy? If you do, coming at me with bullshit is a hell of a way to get started. His whole point of there is nothing you can do to make yourself better is not somethimg I agree witb. But then you need to consider what is better for one may not be better for another. We all have our own paths. Perhaps being better at lifting is something one considers to be a worthwhile goal, or perhaps managing a temper might be another. There are skills one can learn for both and both in the eye of the individual are paths to self improvement. To simply be as he suggests is one thing and has value, there is always value in self reflection or in just observing but what do you do once you see what us going on? How does what you see make you feel? Is it just? Can it be better? Whats your part in it? Does it even matter? I'm no expert in anything.
