    Again, I think they’re still working on improving their situation in their own way. They don’t WANT what we see as improvement. For us, improvement is comfort, money to live, a better home, etc. For some people, it could be achieving an altered brain state. Or reading a book. Or spending a day walking the streets. All of this would, in my view, be “trying to improve your situation” - they all make you more comfortable. They may not be long-term viable, or what the broader society may define as improvement, but that’s kinda irrelevant.

      Or reading a book.

      While I agree with you philosophically, this made me laugh out loud.
