One of my ambitions is to be important in some way and make a difference. I've been confused as of late as to what the best way to go about that is. I once thought it would make a bigger difference to become involved in philosophical theorizing, in order to perhaps in some way direct the mentality of a large number of people. However, this would be an entirely thankless profession and be entirely impractical. It is theoretical, therefore impractical. So now I've turned my attention to practical things for my ambitions, as they matter in the way the world functions and drive people to do rather than talk. And yet, there, how much would I truly matter when I am gone?
