Have you personally created anything that helps people or makes society better in any way?

I hope so. I’ve created things used by hundreds of millions people, but maybe that’s not a good definition of “better”.

But whether or not I’ve made things better is irrelevant. What’s important is that at least I tried.

Can we see some of the things you've created in your own free time that are used by hundreds of millions of people then?

And of course it is relevant! That's what you say in your parent comment, right?

I prefer to maintain my anonymity. I'm not sure why you're personally attacking me for expressing my opinion. The point of my comment was that the ego of an artist is only self-serving. Obviously not every pursuit can end in success.

Of course you do. I was not attacking you, but just wondering what do you consider to be a superior past time than creating art. The fact that you have to hide behind the mask of anonymity tells me everything though, so thank you.

Feel free to respond to this comment with your LinkedIn. I will DM you there.
