    At this point, I consider not contributing to society rather than contributing negatively to society a win.

      That’s absolutely right and it’s a good principle to live by. I have a long way to go, but my core moral is similar: if I can’t try to help someone, then at least I don’t have to try to harm them. This “passive” alternative is sometimes obscured by false dichotomies, that every choice must be divided between positive or negative.
