You’re sort of describing the central problem of my existence: the skills I have to offer in the marketplace of work are only skills utilized by people whose goals I abhor.

I got into this because I loved solving problems. Now my problem is that the problems at hand are mostly dehumanizing and further the goals of people intent on dehumanizing everyone but them.

I leaned my ladder against the wrong wall and started climbing. It took a lifetime to realize it was the wrong wall.

Now you have a different problem to solve!
