  1. 🤷🏼‍♀️ be sensible with alcohol and don’t abuse it and you won’t, it’s the same as everything, in fact the liver can repair up to 80% of damage, so even if you get severe fatty diseases and stuff (granted not cirrhosis, but you need a hell of a lot of alcohol to get to that point) it can be fully healed within 20 days

  6. 👁️If you are unaware of certain needs of people and their motivations then actions can seem totally selfless but we know of so many benefits to being kind and we've heard from people the things they get out of it so now the wider community can see that "nobody does anything selflessly" but that brings into the question of if it's even possible for someone to act against their own will.

    If actions are "willful" that is to say, purposeful and in accordance with one's will, and one's will is based on the person's "interests" then you can't act without your own interests being a basis for that.

    Some attractions are stronger than others.

    Jopo pointed out that he doesn't think much about helping a lady out, almost as though it's a habit that doesn't take any conscious thought.
    Like he's on autopilot and never has to make an executive decision that help.

    I think I'd argue that people might act unintentionally (unwillfully) if they build up such a habit, but to make something a habit requires a lot of intentional and value-based decisions, and the decision to repeat them.

    Being virtuous is a motivation that some would consider "selfish".


    I think that selfishness and selflessness are just two metrics to measure an action by rather than a binary thing. Mr Beast donated 200k to planting trees and motivated a big movement. He made all of his money from ads and making videos, and in those videos he throws away hundreds of thousands to people in need.

    He could stop spending that money and still make a decent amount, but because he likes making people happy and helping out, he continues to stifle his wealth growth in a way that many other people with MORE selfish motivatord would probably not.


    Enjoying making others happy, providing them with the means of survival, and otherwise helping them is a social motivation.

    Yes it makes him happier but it benefits others as well. Actions that help others may also help ourselves but they're better than actions that help ourselves more than others.
