I'm not quite sure how else to make clear that for a very long time (from the beginning, actually), I've been surrounded by very questionable people doing very bad things (and the degree to which they are questionable is not necessarily publicly apparent), and that for most of the last decade, my actual experience of the day has been comparable to political prisoners under authoritarian governments in the context of the gulags. Really, this isn't an exaggeration. Things are very bad, and are likely to get worse, and the reasons for that seem pellucidly clear. American corruption, like the corruption found in other places, is a real thing. Three careers torpedoed, and not even a basic existence for much of it.
Not to demonstrate my own virtue, but to make the lines of causation clear, I should add that I've kept to a very rigorous intellectual, spiritual, and physical discipline, and I don't suffer from any addictions or afflictions of which I'm aware. Except, perhaps freshly-ground peanut butter and coffee.
So, I'm not sure how else to make that point. Highway billboards, perhaps.
