I read this essay, which is about how men want the chance to serve their communities and be rewarded for it. The world is not lacking in opportunities to serve. What’s missing is people who want to put in the work and make stuff happen.

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives thought participation trophies were a sign of the "pussification of America"

Men want to be treated like heroes for being men. They don’t want to earn heroism, they want to be entitled to it.

"I want to be seen as a hero!" "That's bus stop could use a bench. You could learn how to do that and then pay for it." "..."

The conceptual wannabe hero of this piece thinks a few single acts should earn them acclaim. The REAL heroes are those who show up, day after day, doing the necessary but rarely noticed work. Consistency and humility are the TRUE hallmarks of who our heroes are.

I used to work in downhill skateboarding. My friend Justin is *still* celebrated for a big race he threw annually from 2017-2019. Nobody is stopping you from organizing a cool event for your friends and putting in the work to make it happen. www.maxdubler.com/blog/2019/8/...

Wait did you come to Ithaca, NY for the downhill skateboarding event on East Buffalo St?

No, but a ton of my friends did and I’m friendly with the guy who put it on.
