rather, to change the world around me. My ideas come to me and they demand expression, and I recognise their separateness and inalienability, and what they want to do aligns with what I want to see.

I don't care if someone makes a million off it, they deserve that for recognising it. The target audience for these blue sky ideas is those who also want the same thing. Sometimes I am just writing stuff to share my petty existence or help friends.

Getting paid is not everything.

Some things you cannot discover in easy circumstances. Sometimes bad luck is the meat in the sandwich, and often that means losing money.

Sometimes the writing is its' own reward. Sometimes just the kind comments is enough. Sometimes someone popping out of the Steemit Inc cloister and acknowledging my idea is sound is a huge reward.

As a person driven towards novelty and motivated by problem solving, a lot of what I do is not about making things nice for me, but making life difficult for those who benefit from things that also oppress me. Revenge. Taking away the toys when they are used to mangle people is the only way to stop them being used this way.

I am fully convinced that money based on an impartial consensus record will turn the world upside down, and put the pigs at the top in the sty's they belong in.

Of course I think I could do a lot more if I could get into the lab, build things, test, prove, publish and get into production. But in the absence of that, my mind is a wonderful playground where my favourite playmates visit. I already have the best gift. Though I am still going to try and get that lab together.
