INTENTIONS ARE A CHEAT AND A FANTASY : ONLY CONSEQUENCES EXIST

A psychological and hormonal trick that lets you do nothing meaningful, and possibly plenty that’s harmful, in exchange for the cheap high of feeling that you made a difference in the world.

Because if you tried to so something that people actually wanted, by producing something people actually wanted, you’d fail.

The only altruism is teaching someone to fish. Because if you try and succeed it was your victory. And if you try and fail, it is your failure. Rather than risk failure people try to obtain good feelings about themselves by good intentions.
