Another thing I thought of-
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.
Doing research is always a great way to go. Getting feedback is important, because that’s when you’ll hear things you might not see with the internet search algorythm matrix. For some people it can be difficult to unlearn after they’ve already been exposed to too much information.
