Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm opinionated because I care 🫂
I like this thesis, friend Ross.
How strongly do you believe that is the real reason?
I'm sure part of it revolves around my love to be social and talk, but mostly as I said, I care a lot.
Yah you do.
When I was younger and surrounded by losers. People used to constantly say I was “so opinionated”. It always confused me. Like you’re a person too, don’t you think about the things around you and also form opinions? Then I realized the answer was no they don’t. That brought it into focus for me.
This does put it into perspective. Thank you. Good luck tomorrow on stage. Do us proud.
I promise to fuck it up and bring shame to not only myself but this entire community
I wouldn't have it any other way 🤣
Great notes by you both. I've had jobs in the past where Ive had opinions about problems and I want to solve these problems. Unfortunately, I can't most of the time because that's the way management is running things. Family and friends asking why I care so much about a job I don't even like. My response was, "I'm spending my life doing this thing. I'm spending my time and energy. I want to care. I need to care." I'd ask, "Don't you care when you go to work?" A common response was, "I just go to work and come home. It's just a job." That mindset scares me.
I've said something a long the lines before like I care, management doesn't, so it's my job to make them care, but I can only do so much. 🫂
