You explained it well with the multiverse, a500lbitch.
I'd like to also mention, why is being very ambitious an innately good thing? That's actually a rare quality. I believe we have been so brainwashed by the hugely ambitious among us running the society, that we see super successful people as normal and normal people as slackers. Criminals are a great example of this kind of thing. We think of criminals as bad people, but they're not, they're normal people who couldn't fit in this world. Chronic criminality isn't even a thing in tribalism, in the kind of society we evolved for.
I personally am not an ambitious person. I'm very kind, pretty cleaver, and a hard worker, but I don't want to do what it takes to make a lot of money in this world. I have no ambition for greatness, I just want to live and die with my family and friends. And that's how it's supposed to be. But in this world, if you're like that, you're cattle
That's actually been an enormously destructive thing for me. The reality that I live in a world that values me based on my ability to chase money, yet I don't want to chase money, compounded by the fact that everybody else lives in this same world, and so the entire thing is functional dysfunction, and then people make movies called Crash where the theme is that society's structure is so fucked up that in order to be human you have suffer extremism
