It's the puritan work ethic, imo. It's only because of finally having my child reared and settled, being blissfully single, volcel and underemployed/marginalized for a few years that gave me enough time to scratch past the surface sufficiently to have the evidence percolate a smidge deeper and be able to return to subject matter as often as needed.

I definitely agree part of it is existing in the core and just toiling away keeping your head down. I’ve not lived on the “proper” track at any point of my adult life so maybe that helped me get where I am now, but even so I think that doesn’t do much for many. The propaganda machine is a black hole

Then I'm so much more fortunate to have broken through it than I realized.
