i am nobody

no one of consequence

i am not a powerful tech entrepreneur, or an academic elite

i am not writing this because I want to

i am not writing it for attention. for fame, enrichment, prestige, or approval

i am writing it because someone has to, and no one else will

this isn’t sanctified doomerism, wrapped in institutional cowardice

this is not a message of how we face an existential threat “unless…”

this is the truth

and while i am a quiet man by nature, i tried spreading this message quietly

and no one listened

if you want to be heard, it seems you need to scream

this is me screaming
