that’s part of it but there are other cases too. i like learning but i don’t like making it other people’s problem, and my improvement is a snail’s pace for a variety of reasons, some self-inflicted. im comfy with you tho
the problem is that you're looking for depth. i never tire of repeating nietzsche's refrain: the greeks were superficial out of profundity. the mundane, the everyday, is all there is - and that is sufficient motivation for action.
yes it is ‘dangerous’. but dangerous does not mean categorical opposition. the obvious move here is to flip it around and say “but aren’t there an abundance of sources encouraging me to stay unchanged?”
