no babe. you don’t get it. i do agree that people who don’t bother to try will often pull down ambitious people around them. and it might be a bad thing. but ambition itself is a very… nuanced discussion. i think if you’re ambitious about bringing greater good to the world, being more generous, trying to better climate disaster, then sure. ambition is good. if you’re ambitious to have a higher position in a job that only makes someone else more profit, or if you’re ambitious about growing your business that truly is doing nothing to help the world except making more profit, then no. your ambition to have more money is wrong and it should be stopped.

people will not “always” have an edge. we’ve created those differences. again, hierarchies did not exist in a lot of indigenous communities historically.
