Requiem For A Roommate

This is a great reminder about how changing the world for the better doesn't always have to involve making a living too:

"It took me a long time, but as I got older I realized that life was more than just about work, technical innovation and business. Michael and others worked to preserve and protect the values that made life worth living. And while we were making things, they were the ones who were who changing our society into a more just place to live."

It would be really, really great -- amazing, even -- if there were support systems for people like Michael.

It is (pardon my language here) hella fucking hard to change the world. Nobody else around you is likely to be interested in what you're doing, unless they can directly benefit somehow without any effort. You can't get assistance with your goal unless you have the money to buy it. How many people start out to improve the world, even in some relatively small way, pour a year, two years, or much more of their life into it, struggling the whole way, and eventually give up?

Thank you, Michael.

Had to sign up to say thanks. Its, comforting, reassuring and inspiring that people believe enough to fight without having to be incentivized first.

The links to POST and the Coastal commissioner were great too.

Very inspiring. However, entrepreneurs lie to themselves thinking they want to make a better world. Money is the incentive. Real vocation needs no financial reasons.
