I think most people recognize that there's a selfless streak that drives people into teaching. I think some people further recognize that this selfless streak is lacking in them. Therefore, "selflessness" becomes a binary condition rather than a trait; it doesn't require "more selflessness" to teach for peanuts in a pandemic because "more selflessness" is like "more pregnant" to them.
