I don’t focus on ambition per se; I bring up ambition later in the post because I think it’s an underlying driver. What draws my attention is people who suck in various big ways, and just kinda wallow in it rather than do anything about it. That’s what triggers my reaction.
This is mostly the thing I mean when I use the word ambition above. I think you’re using the word to mean something overlapping but distinct; I’m trying to capture the overarching thing that contains both ‘wallow in it’ and the ‘underlying driver’ of your disgust/disappointment reaction.
