Wise words. So good.

I enjoyed my animation career and the craft of it, even if most of it was pushing shit on people who didn't need or want it. That part I didn't like. I was finally directing my own projects and even before my "fixing something that wasn't broken" problem I realized that I wanted deeper meaning and purpose in the projects than mere entertainment or marketing.

Without the time to delve deep I would have likely become some SJW director. For example, I really believed we needed a solution for climate change. I even directed some embarrassingly crappy animation (for complicated reasons) for a poor documentary (beyond my control) on climate change. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470016/ Even if it had turned out to be a great product like An Inconvenient Truth I would have to look back with mixed feelings.

I'm (too) slowly laying the foundation of background information for my future projects to build upon, so the audience may have a ready platform for noobs from which to launch should my edutainment inspire them to seek more information. (But I keep getting distracted by SaidIt etc.)

I have few specific goals in mind and too many interests of educational distractions that directly or indirectly all tie into my big ocean. I just hope I can navigate my destiny to my goals.
