Very eloquently said. This drive feels more absent than ever. There’s like this aroma of helplessness today within innovation as a general approach to problem solving. Perhaps it’s just a sign of my times and I’ve reached to “get off my lawn” jaded stage. I am trying to realign my pursuits and sense of fulfillment by focusing on what “feels right” rather than be manipulated by monetary concerns. I certainly don’t want or need to strive for tons of money; the only way I’ve justified the path is by somehow having faith that whatever I naturally involve myself with will find it’s way in supporting itself to conclusion. I’ve always wondered how “the greats” supported themselves. You only hear about their intellectual pursuits but not their support system. I’m not sure who it was but in the area of thermodynamics Faraday or someone was basically supporting his entire family on a farm and just working on the profundity of heat in his spare hours.
