Tested and proven to be true, really. You're just being weird about it.

My entire life has been one continuous run down the shit slide driven by "the profit motive".

“Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.

This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple “I must,” then build your life in accordance with this necessity [...very long quote...] A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. That is the only way one can judge it.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

Everyone else, please go touch grass, we have enough books about milking farms.
