Take just what I came for, Then I'm out the door, again

[wolven7]

Lately it seems that I am constantly incapacitated by a giant influx of People's Bullshit. Be this at work, or in explaining, again and Again, what it is that I'm trying to get done, I simply don't have the patience to deal with it, any more. But, as I'm not independently wealthy, I don't know what to do about this.

All I know is, my driving ethos, right now, is something akin to, "I am Going to Change The World. I know how I want to do it, I know how others want me to do it. I don't much care for the 'established way of doing this.' So, Either Help Me, Get Out Of The Way, Or Get Set On Fire."

Again, I'm not independently wealthy, nor vastly influential, and I kind of enjoy having friends, so this is not exactly conducive to the achievement of goals.

But, gods help me, it Feels So Right.

The flaw rhetors and speakers often have is that we are convinced that if we explain something 'correctly' then the world will hence suddenly do everything it can to help, out of agreement with the rightness of our ideas.

(This is not a criticism, its just the way it is - I suffer from it myself)

The truth is that if your ideas are really that revolutionary, you will *not* be understood, until you have *done* and are *doing* it, irrespective of others.

Bluntly, and I say this with honest respect for you D, perhaps the time for explanations is over. Or to put it another way, [erhaps this period is the universe saying:

Stop talking. Shut the fuck up and DO

I think you're right.

The thing I didn't see in the previous post was what that improved understanding you want to spread about could do. You asked the question up top, and then didn't answer. You said what it was, instead.
Your quarry will want to know what it can do. And I'd recommend that rather than ask the quarry what he/she wants it to do, you should guess. And assuming it's the truth, you should then tell your quarry that it does that. Among other things.

If you effect your changes by covering the sky of America in eldritch fire, we cool. If you do it by opening a School for the Gifted, fine. If you do it by writing a how-to book that goes viral, awesome. If you do it by starting a show called "(your name) Does Everything," that's good too.
Revolutionary methods won't bother me. Just git 'r done.

And yeah: What does it do?

Well, what Doesn't it do?

Re: is/does

Again: What is a single specific thing it does, that you would guess I would want it to do?

When offering (perhaps even "proffering") this thing/service/space/idea, I think you will be better off assuming that this is the question people really want answered when they ask, "What does it do?"
