Makes sense. It's hard to imagine this for people who don't have access to such opportunities. Myself included to some extent.

Most people will never have to make any truly difficult or impactful ideological decision in their entire lives. Probably couldn't even wrap their minds around it so they're sure to neglect it. The decisions most people encounter in their lives are relatively simple and the consequences of making a mistake are relatively minimal. I feel like the biggest variables in most peoples' lives are external (costs imposed on them), not consequences of their own decisions. It's seems like the flip side of the fact that a small number of people do get to make those impactful decisions on a large scale.
