The idea that your create your world with unfettered freedom and no restrictions is a false notion. This isn’t a world where you can do whatever you want however you want, and people will throw money at you for being that way. As nice as it would be to live a totally free life where you get paid just to be you - that isn’t the reality of human societies.
I’m not one to balk at the notion of rocking or shaking up the status quo - god knows I’ve done my fair share of that, just today I had a volatile (and very angry) letter printed in our paper condeming book banning and the idiots who condone it - not that that will change anyone’s mind.
But I’m saying you also have to be realistic and face the fact that no one is going to pay you to sit on your bum and play video games all day (in all likelihood). The world you want to live in is bounded by the stark facts of economic necessities and social pressures.

Good thing I didn’t say that then.

Who said anything about that?
The world you want to live in is bounded by the stark facts of economic necessities and social pressures.
Except economics is not “facts”, it’s a way of organising that we have the power to change. Specifically referring to economics, the world is the way that it is because some people want it to be this way, it is not a fact of nature.

I really could not care less, you think whatever you want to. I’ve got better things to care about.
Clearly, because you didn’t even care enough to read what I originally wrote.
Go do so then.
Sounds good, I certainly enjoy getting under your skin, it keeps my needles sharp.
So you clearly don’t have better things to care about.
I certainly enjoy getting under your skin, it keeps my needles sharp.
I’d suggest a hobby.
This is my hobby. Keepin’ my needles sharp and ready.
