Playing this out for didactic purposes, why would someone increase their charisma or decrease their recklessness? The standard line is that Gandhi wouldn’t try to increase his murderousness… what’s the difference?
If someone is passionately committed to their recklessness, to the point of dying for it, or to having the charisma of a dead toad, to the point of being overthrown for it, none at all. The former is explicitly avowed by some (“live fast, die young!”), and there’s no shortage of people on the Internet who pride themselves on being obnoxious and take validation from being excluded.
And then, some people would rather get things done, and there’s not much of significance you can accomplish without being alive and getting other people to take you seriously.
