The world is something that we make

This consistent misread is that no positive change is worth making unless you make it in a pristine, completely consistent, platonic final form. No. Not only is this characteristic of the main problem of progressivism today, this is also fundamentally untrue. No change is made in a vacuum, and no step forward in history comes perfectly. Believing it is true extricates you from your own responsibility and your own autonomy. It reduces your individual volition and humanity to a tool of large business. It is obedience in advance. It is an obscene mode of infantilism and not an honest position.

A good piece on how the choices we make do matter, they matter to us as individuals. I’ve been making a lot of small moves for years and I like feeling better about the way I’m spending money and the way I’m supporting (or not supporting) certain companies.
