I think there might be a pretty big reason that’s contributing to why the world isn’t a better place despite our technological advancements.
People can’t solve their own problems. Specifically because if their solution fails, they are screwed. The emotional labor is too much.
I have a personal boundary that (for the most part) I can’t work on projects regarding problems I currently have. It’s too stressful.
As an example, there is a problem I am dealing with now that I could probably set up a website for. It wouldn’t take any longer than the other website projects I have/am working on. From a practical standpoint, it wouldn’t take me that much effort. But from an emotional standpoint, I wouldn’t even be able to start it.
It’s trippy to think about, especially since I’m not sure it’s something I’m sure I could solve on my own without something like a website.
