You have good points. My grandfather was a rich white inventor

My father died a homeless man

Personal choices matter

So “individuality” matters

Ad rates. Seriously.

Creating a depressed and nihilistic society in the 21st century increases internet use, and advertising supports the internet. More angst, more clicks, more ads, higher rates, and on and on...

Think about it.

There's no money to be made in everybody agreeing with each other.

Maybe that's why I prefer to live in houses that aren't on fire!

But, no, there will be no "journalists" coming around to question me about my house that isn't on fire, and my life in which I take care of myself and don't lay my insecurity off on someone else. BORING!!!!
