When I read the original OP that this OP is a response to, I am “reading in” some context or subtext based on the fact I know the author/blogger is an EA; something like “when giving life advice, I’m doing it to help you with your altruistic goals”. As a result of that assumption, I take writing that looks like ‘tips on how to get more of what you want’ to be mainly justified by being about altruistic things you want.
