It would be really, really great -- amazing, even -- if there were support systems for people like Michael.
It is (pardon my language here) hella fucking hard to change the world. Nobody else around you is likely to be interested in what you're doing, unless they can directly benefit somehow without any effort. You can't get assistance with your goal unless you have the money to buy it. How many people start out to improve the world, even in some relatively small way, pour a year, two years, or much more of their life into it, struggling the whole way, and eventually give up?
