I am a 24 year old male. But, are you a 24 year old human male? You are well-read, but are you well-red? You don't need to be told to do things, but can you be told to do things, or are you too prideful to take direction? Sadly, the only way to get people to believe you is "show, don't tell." Build/make/do then cry out "join me."
