Like I’ve never heard that before, and always from the people utterly terrified by my conclusions.
Well writing IS what I do. And like speaking it can have a HUGE impact on the world, especially given that writing is immortal. Candy striping a cancer ward is going to do nothing but make me feel good about myself in the long term. I’m trying to educate people (or learn about it myself via contradiction) on the nature of the system as a whole. And before you assume I don’t engage in your worthless idea of charity, ask yourself which one of us spent Christmas in a nursing home despite the absence of any relatives in a nursing home.
The system is evil, you can’t just go out and help people without helping it. The problem is not that simple. Soup kitchens by and large are run by churches, and I don’t have the funding to start an agnostic one, and I’m not gonna play a game that is corrupt from the start with some kind of bullshit ‘the ends justify the means’ logic just so I can go into moral debt to get out of a fiscal one.
No, there is nothing to be done quickly and easily except exit and educate, and that’s what I am doing.
My diaper isn’t currently being changed, thankfully. I have found that people who want me to do something more than write tend to not read what I write…family for instance.

Yes but am I writing for you? The people who are my age and understand my work typically don’t need any edification from me.
The excuse I get for friends and family not reading my work is a pretty good one. “You write like you talk, we get the live version.”
