Who says I don’t? Just nothing I do can be turned into a job that pays enough money to live. I don’t want to be doing one thing for more than 5-10 hours a week, and I want to do many different things, not stick with one for very long.
I’ve created open source software. I’ve written guides for games. I’ve helped countless people with their problems, online and offline. All my friends would say I’m valuable to them, those are part of “society”. I’m constantly making myself better, more knowledgeable, I am part of society, by improving myself I improve society.
