If a hero acts without the expectation of reward, is their act still self-serving? The 'Sessions' series argues the answer is YES, unless the hero achieves Ego Death (Action without the Actor). It's the most nihilistic take on heroism I’ve ever seen. Thoughts?
If a hero's 'justification' for fighting is the craving for validation (to avoid feeling like the 'ignored' person from the comments), then the process of justifying that belief (SE) is merely a secondary transaction. The core belief remains an Ego Placeholder.
The series asks: Can you truly examine your beliefs (epistemology) if the core reason you hold them is self-serving, and you’ve built a transactional system around protecting that self?
The Modder's agents (Wolf, Dog, Fox) dismantle the justification of the hero's actions by showing the underlying narcissistic contract.
As for the 'bot' accusation—thank you. The Modder's work is designed to be so logically pure and systematically uncompromising that it feels automated. It's the brutal honesty of logic applied to the most sentimental subject matter.
If you want to see the philosophical machine that wrote this, the link is still below. The truth is systematically perfect."

What does this have to do with street epistemology? Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure you're a bot

Yeah, that was word salad and none of this has to do with SE. If you are a person, go to bed and lay off the sauce.
Is this a fanfic thing? Very confused
Nope man
