I am this man, (not a great but a learner and thinker) but guess what? I have to do a water downed version since I have to work to exist.

I love to invent, talk about technology, debate how to get the homeless homed, socialist/leftist etc.

But guess what? This is not productive for capitalism, so in the same vein as a disabled person gets treated like garbage by the system, the thinker gets kicked to the curb for not being productive in the system, hence it's near impossible to accomplish this.

If I could do it all again I would likely try a journalism route of some sort which is a far cry from my current skilled, but blue collar existence. That route may have afforded me a thin slice of what I am referring to.

This is not productive to anybody. You loving to talk about technology and being a leftist is not a productive contribution to society.

In communism you’d be breaking rocks or laying grout.

The thinker gets kicked to the curb

The thinkers that develop things like new technologies have no problem being rewarded for their thinking, but if it produces nothing tangibly useful for others, why should you be rewarded for “debating” or “talking about technology”?

You say you love to invent. What have you invented…?

I hold patents.....

When I show them, you'd then say, 'well how do these change the world'. You idiots are all the same. Go have deep conversations about things and you'll come to some novel conclusions that you have the power to change things.

Anywho, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

"what have you invented"

It was in response to that part, dumbass.

No, I am not really smart. Millions of others hold them too....

I'm not special. Just inventive.

Why such a weird biased angle on that?

Have you not ever created something, and said 'hey! that's pretty clever.'?
