True, but my point is that we as humans determine those choices. We don't have to commericialize our life's worth, and that's the big pay-off that the material-obsessed never achieve. I don't feel the need to harp on those who short-change their lives as long as we are free to create our own.

"True, but my point is that we as humans determine those choices."
Choices? Not sure what that has to do with anything.
"We don't have to commericialize [sic] our life's worth, and that's the big pay-off that the material-obsessed never achieve."
OK.... you're right, we don't "have to"... but... what's the "big pay-off" you're referring to?
"I don't feel the need to harp on those who short-change their lives as long as we are free to create our own."
Again.. OK... not sure what your point is. I'm not trying to start a fight, but... it feels like you're just parroting some feel-good nonsense that doesn't actually reflect reality, in the hopes that no one is going to want to be critical of, what on the surface sees to be, positive messaging.
I also noticed the phrase "social science" in your bio,and I can't help but feel like those two things are intrinsically connected. You literally sound like the "con" man Ted was recently talking about.
Perhaps my succinctness is not clear, sorry. By choices, I mean I seek out art I value - I don't listen to Top40 or care who Rihanna is. We don't need to run with the herd - we are free to consume what we value. Nobody forcefeeds us commercial crap.
The big pay-off is a life lived according to and on your own terms. As an observer said at Lorenzo's funeral, "In the end we all end up dead; rich or poor." So live the life you value and advise others to do the same. My point is that I work to advance that vision of the present and the future. I'm not conning(?) anybody.
Please understand that I'm... kinda joking when I say this, but...
"...tech start-up founder in the creative media original content space... Social science academic and author.
I'm not conning(?) anybody."
My guy, that's *literally* your resum├й. What are you talking about?
"The big pay-off is a life lived according to and on your own terms."
What does that even mean?
Because if taken literally, it's just not possible...
OK... so, you listen to the music you want? Is that really "living on your own terms"? Because... every step of procuring and enjoying that music means agreeing to the terms of dozens of entities that aren't you. So... whose terms are you *really* living by? Sure, you get to choose which company's terms to agree with, but what does that entail exactly тАФ especially in a world of ever-encroaching EAAS (Existence As A Service/Subscription)?
So... logically, the only thing left would be "empty platitude to be interpreted as 'your truth' requires". Which is exactly the type of thing that someone who does what you do says to get people to give you money. Just sayin' ┬п\_(уГД)_/┬п
"Literally my resume"? You have no clue. Now you're just intent on insulting people you don't know. Why? Not productive for me...good luck selling that.
