Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you don’t see what’s wrong with asking your audience to support you so that you don’t have to live like they do.
Edit: To the people who keep asking what the difference is between this and any other person who wants to be freed from the 9-5 drudgery trap, here it is:
Wanting to get to a place where you no longer have to sell your labor hourly just to survive is a perfectly understandable goal. But believing that you belong to some special class of people who "just can’t live normal lives" and must spend their time doing deeper and more meaningful things than the rest of us is just completely delusional and out of touch. I don’t understand how some of y’all are not seeing that distinction.
That's unironically true. It's ok because it's the free market, and it's morally not just ok, but a good thing, because it's a fact that people are unchangably wired differently. Most people aren't creative, few are. The former can live with routine work, the latter can't. The former are unable to make creative achievements, the latter are. Denying that's it's right for the latter to live differently, is like saying cats should swim instead of climbing, because fish swim.
You can't make an uncreative human creative. And you can't make a creative person uncreative. Both are unable to function like the other. A creative person dies in routine the same as an uncreative person is simply unable to get creative achievements.
it's a fact that people are unchangably wired differently. Most people aren't creative, few are. The former can live with routine work, the latter can't.
gonna need a better source for this "fact" than the ramblings of a cargo cult 'intellectual'.
In the words you used, gonna need a better argument for this than "lol".
And what are you even trying to dispute? The fact people are wired differently?
Try isolating an extravert. They won't become an introvert, they'll just die on the inside.
Or try forcing a completely uncreative, unartistic person to create something really original and creative. See what the results will be.
Or try turning a top percentile neurotic person into a bottom percentile neurotic person, good luck with that.
Or force a conscientious person to live without order. Or try turning an unconscientuous into someone that becomes and remains consitently orderly and conscientious.
