Clarification: I don't believe I'm worthless. But there's still frequently a disparity between the worth I catch myself trying to signal and the worth I (think I) actually have. Having worth > 0 doesn't make that less objectionable.

I do tend to give up on the "becoming" part as often as not, but I don't think I do worse than average in that regard. Average does suck, though.

Why are you still making excuses not to be awesome?

Pity we can't self quote in the quote thread.

Huh? You've said something you want to quote? But this isn't the quotes thread...

paper-machine wants to quote you, eli. "Why are you still making excuses not to be awesome?" would have made a pretty good quote, if only you hadn't written it on Less Wrong.
