I find myself in this weird situation where many of the people who like my theses around building, intentionality, and tech are socialists and don't realize that I am, in fact, not a socialist

Willing to bet that your friend circle that supports you, just supports you without actually understanding what you’re after 

True for me.

Eng @superstate. Chasing curiosity. People, nature, machines. Hakuna matata, "Its a problem-free philosophy.”

true for me too 

obviously we all want to make money for our effort/work but outside of that i’m not sure what you’re after @jihad 

maybe it’s just that but context and clarity would help
