So, I have reached the conclusion, based on certain interactions, that I am failing my duty. As a recognized expert in a niche field, expertise in which is absolutely fucking useless unless that knowledge is shared with the public, one might think that answering any question asked of me regarding that niche field is the appropriate thing to do.
But apparently, I am doing it wrong. Apparently, what I should be doing is ignoring questions entirely, because that seems to be the way to gain followers and expand knowledge.
I’m glad I’ve been taught this valuable lesson, and I’m going to get to work on being that guy who’s an expert on something completely nerdy yet can’t be bothered to engage other people. Wish me luck!
