I have noticed that people are often quite sloppy about what questions they ask in addition to how they think about the answers.
I suspect when most people ask you why you want to save the world, what they really mean is, “Why do you devote so much effort to trying to save the world when your odds of success are so abysmally low that it may as well be considered impossible? Don’t you have more practical things to do with your time?”
