Because I wasn't good enough to be a doctor or in any feasible way help people. Literature and the ideas i've gained from it, the names. They're the only things that have meaning to me anymore.

In order to create a new paradigm shift, one has to defeat the old paradigm.

Our current paradigm (Post-Modernism) emerged because it defeated the previous one (Modernism.) And Modernism only emerged after defeating Romanticism. And Romanticism only emerged from defeating Enlightenment... etc. etc. etc.

But a new paradigm shift would look like something out of pol. Why? Because it contains controversial truths no one dares to speak.

>Inb4 awkward laughing.
>Inb4 angry denial.

So....nobody here will probably actually create a paradigm shift. Because they are waaay to invested in the current paradigm to actually take it on.

This is why academy is usually conquered from outside forces, as the schools they teach become outmoded every 3-5 generations.

I write so I can make sense of all these errant thoughts in my head. I desperately want to be heard and understood. I'd like to be able to express myself so clearly that there's no room for interpretation, to craft a phrase that will encapsulate an experience so well that it will be relatable to all. That and also it would be dope to be fucking famous and fuck chicks.
