>For two, if I want to make a new community I'm still going to have to deal with similar problems from people that would come there, as it's practically impossible to get together a whole bunch of ascetics who refuse to abuse their bodies and minds. Oh and three, joining a community where this shit isn't a problem? Not possible. The seeping veins of corruptions and degeneracy are felt everywhere in the world.
It'd probably be better than where you are, though.
>Honor demands
Maybe you mean ego.
[Osho and others state the best way is to go your own way for awhile, write the revelations that come to you, leave a trail of breadcrumbs for others, and then once you are well-developed you can help others]
If you feel healing like this is your duty, then do it.
Don't look down upon others for refusing to abandon their ideas of "safety" and what-have-you, since you are holding onto your idea that they are corrupt with equal or greater strength.
No one likes being judged or "beat up" on an ego level, and you holding them in contempt makes them feel that way.
If you are the greatest person in the world in any area, it only matters if you self-validate, or if others recognize you.
If you are egotistical without self-validation, no one will want to care except those wanting something from you. So you'd be alone and lonely.
>Well by this logic you'd think if I switched modes or something and started encouraging them to engage their vices it would get really bad and they'd stop.
That's actually how I stopped gaming, and stopped wanting to be alone, etc. By doing it so much that I got SICK of it, and never accepting it as my identity.
>How does one help others help themselves?
The only thing you can really do is give small pieces of wisdom, and live your life well enough that they start to seek your counsel. Focus more inward! As within, so without.
I had the issue of wanting to help others, but I got over it because it's just taking on more burdens, and I'm probably less developed than you. It's difficult to be empathic. Especially when it's someone you love.
Know the best things you can do are small, or going with their energy if you like.
Say someone wants to watch tv because someone made them miserable. You love them, so you say "ok" or you say "want company?" Those are the 2 paths, for me.
You can also try dragging them out, say you're gonna do something if they want to join. This only works if they want out but don't want to say it.

>Maybe it's because I have knowledge of God and know the fruits of my labors will bring about a very desirable sharpening of the senses, expansion of awareness, self-mastery, etc.?
Presumably. I've been on the up-and-down path of ignorant development, and trying to be more like you say. Those who desire help will seek it, but most seek sympathy instead, which is something of an unconditional love. "I love you and you do not have to change for me."
This gives warmth and for people who desire to change, some strength to do so. Some people are far gone and it takes a lot for this to work, and some don't trust love and may "never" get better. (in this life)

sure you can.

>How can I be more efficient and over-ride the habit mentality of others?
I think someone once said giving them the element of fire helps with that. Maybe in question thread 16 or something? Universal Master Key type dealie.
