6. We acknowledge that the states of go-getter and no-getter are
transient, and that everyone spends some time in each camp; thus,
severe sanctions of no-getterness will punish everyone eventually.

Also, consider that deciding who is useful and who is not can be quite
subjective. eg: Think of how bankers are judged now vs, say, three
years ago. In the general case, it is very unsafe to assume that
arbitrary others would consider your contribution positive.
