At the same time, a thoughtful post today can change the entire life direction of a ten years younger you and end up providing far more value to the world overall.

I know that was the case for me. I spent hundreds of hours of reading blog posts by intelligent, optimistic, philosophically transgressive at times but not actually rude or crass folks, all trying to grapple with how to live best in this world. I think this reshaped me to be a much better person in a whole bunch of ways. Very happy for it.

100% Agree, humans love drama. Especially when they aren't in it.

Natural responses to this would be "I don't like drama" and I would say the same, unfortunately this isn't the case for most of humans.
