The wisdom of the ancients have told us, time and again, that society can only truly improve when people plant trees without regard to ever enjoy the shade of their spreading boughs.

Quick search doesn't give me a source.

What's this from, and how long ago was it published?

Supposedly it's from Billionaire Island by Mark Russell, but I haven't been able to confirm that.

Edit: looks like the author posted it originally https://bsky.app/profile/manruss.bsky.social/post/3lclu6o5u7c27

I don't know either. I just saw someone post it in a comment. I asked where they got it from but no response yet.
