I reject the idea that "excellence" must always be the goal in pursuing an interest.

Yeah I'm excellent at being kinda good at a lot of stuff and that's good enough for me

[entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org]

Same. I'm excellent at like 4 things, everything else is just "yeah I got halfway not terrible and moved on"

[dohpaz42@lemmy.world]

I agree. It’s more a side effect. The goal should always be enjoyment or some other form of enrichment. Curiosity would work too.

I'm halfway not terrible at SO MANY things!

[dalekcaan@lemm.ee]

I think that's the fallacy the comic is pointing out. Rather than enjoying their interest, the alien thing is only happy if they're immediately good at it.

I've been working at getting better at being mediocre at things. So far, it's been a source of positive growth, but I do find it ironic how even when it comes to this, I feel compelled to frame it to myself as improving at a thing
