It's the absence of thinking more of yourself actually. I'm a fucking weirdo, so I don't mean to recommend it. I find most people think highly of themselves as part of their process for building courage and agency. They need to be confident that things will go well and maybe that's the healthy way to do it.

I get my courage and agency by feeling that I have nothing to lose because I am already nothing. This has been a lot easier than building confidence for me.

In part, yeah. Like, you can focus on earth or focus on the other 99.999999% of the observable universe.
