This sounds far too similar to an unfortunate pattern I’ve sometimes practiced: taking on the pretense of responsibility instead of an actual responsibility.

Bearing the collective guilt of all mankind is not a noble burden to bear because it is totally detached from taking actions that care for others. It seems more likely to motivate people to self-flagellate, stay in bed depressed by the fact that all of their actions will still result in a hugely negative outcome, or spend lots of time commenting on the internet. The results are as productive and caring as someone playing Call of Duty.

Seems more effective to pick something very specific to strive for like the joy of knowing that some specific group of users from Senegal can provide for their families and to strive towards that.

> The collective guilt and remorse of all of mankind is a heavy burden, but one he is willing and able in his nobility to bear.

that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever read and i hang out on fark.com sometimes.
