I can definitely suggest “find a thing that helps people that plays directly to your areas of expertise” as a total existential despair coping mechanism, speaking as someone with a life-long existential despair problem
I’m working on gathering support for research and policy work focused on strategies for protecting civilians from deadly attacks (both kinetic and information/data based) from small drones, which is an area that desperately needs more attention.
Okay but that has nothing to do with '“find a thing that helps people that plays directly to your areas of expertise” as a total existential despair coping mechanism', does it? "Go out and volunteer even if you have no expertise" is an entirely different statement.
faine: do something with your skills
you: i don't have any skills soooo… guess i'll do nothing! and it's your fault for saying it that way!
is some waffles ass shit.
you have a talent for being obnoxious and here you are wasting it.
Faine was offering that as an answer to existential despair. If that answer can't stand up to even the most simple and obvious scrutiny, it's not much of an answer at all.
I'll also notice I never actually said "Guess I'll do nothing" - you seem to have imagined that part entirely.
Seriously, if you say "Get out of existential despair by finding a way to help people with your skills and expertise!" then "What skills and expertise?" is a fair question to get in response.
