Those who can't do: teach.Those who can't teach: inspire.Those who can't inspire spend time on twitter writing dank memes about the abyss.

It feels wrong to ask for help on the chance that I might do helpful in the future. I get the feeling that I'm entertaining and insightful.

But I may never feel worthy, and I hate the thought of guilting people into donating, I'd much rather you help someone else.

In the grand space of humanity, I am just another ant. Not any more deserving of support. Perhaps less so given my ability to contribute.

If I were to do a Patreon, I'd like to think I'd create a return on investment. That support would help me amplify what i'm already doing.

But being honest with myself, I may never do anything more amazing than what I've been doing now. I don't want to get people's hopes up.

More, I'm afraid that being chained to some outward expectations of me will drive me into a panic. I'd rather just keep helping in silence.

But I'm thinking about trying it anyway. If I fail, at least I'll learn something.

If one more person donates $100 a month to my Patreon, it will cover my food 100% -> I can dedicate rest of my life to doing something cool.

For lack of a better model of what I want to do with my patreon, check out this vid by @vicenews on @kmikeym's idea.https://t.co/I0IzgIBYy8 https://t.co/I2GDaDXsBf

It's not quite a capitalistic version of self funding (no equity), but I'm inspired by @scottsantens's crowd sourced basic income idea.

@scottsantens I'm also influenced by what @sama and @thielfellowship are doing, but via a proxy idea: https://t.co/3atQrP5E2g

What's interesting about what @kmikeym is doing is that it was launched the same year that @aaronsw wrote about that minimum income idea.
