Part 2/15:
The speaker argues that real moral progress occurs within the privacy of one's life. True accomplishments—such as resolving longstanding family conflicts or nurturing authentic relationships—are private endeavors that often go unnoticed but are far more significant than outward, performative displays. These private acts are genuine and rooted in humility, whereas public activism can sometimes mask a lack of true personal development or responsibility. This critique extends to activism in general, which the speaker describes as superficial, trendy, and externalizing blame—focusing on "evil" elsewhere instead of introspection.
