If wanting or receptive to some advice ...

I have done this in the past, but I unfortunately also have BAD and sometimes abruptly drop habits, including useful ones, because they start feeling insincere. Hard to explain.

This is a very precious reminder, cause the former just means that one has to start again and again.

For their benefit and the role that they in company structures, it is one approach that pays out for some.

It's also (hence why I've touched upon conditions) similar to the advice of "want to do something at all, do it badly", sometimes given to people with those involving executive dysfunction.

Unfortunately for us, and humanity at-large, there’s also a statistically-significant increase in the incidence of anti-social personality disorder in those who pursue such positions, compared to the population average.

Yes, I've had a pleasure (not really) of meeting such people.

Anyway, if their common worldview is that we all live on some kind of ruins of a fallen empire, and they are going to be nobles of that society, that doesn't account for universal machines still being universal, and the technologies they rely upon being just as applicable the other way.
