there's a strain in socratic philosophy that argues that it is better to watch the olympic games than take part, as it is a more enjoyable experience to observe and analyze from a distance than to participate or compete directly on the ground.

my head has been in that space since i was a kid, when i didn't care that i never got picked because i'd rather watch anyways.

and, this is the other point about asking me what kind of politician it is that i'm like. politicians have to win elections, which means they have to have some kind of interest in the popular will, be willing to present themselves in a way that is appealing to the masses, etc. i don't have the slightest fucking interest in being popular, i never did and i'm not going to develop one to get a job that i don't actually want.

if you're coming at me from this angle, you're hopelessly wrong. i'm an activist, i'm an artist, i'm a thinker, i'm a rambler - i'm not an actor, or a dictator, or a leader or much of a participant in much of anything at all.

i have always stood from a distance and watched, and i will continue to do so, as long as i can.
