Human beings are so magical to me.

They are my obsession.

And just getting into the weeds of other people is what lights up my brain.

So pleasure is just lighting up my brain.

But I don't think, you know, if you look at the way that I live my life, there's no lack of advocacy.

But I find I take pleasure in using my life in a way that is meaningful and purposeful.

I take pleasure in being stimulated.

That is one of the things that lights up my brain is working out how to fix the puzzle and working out how to, like I said, my obsession is people.

So I am a full time advocate.

And it is my main passion far beyond entertainment.

But that is something that I consider.

I'd much rather spend my time doing that than punishing my body for not looking like a 14-year-old paedophile's dream.

I am just happier to use my brain in the way that it was actually built.

So I consider that important.

But also...

I think it is imperative and I think most great social justice activists throughout history have always said that you must maintain balance.

So with all of the horror in the world, it is unsustainable.

And I was someone who once didn't have any pleasure in my life and it was just...

uh give give give give give to everyone and anyone around me and i found myself barren of any energy and then i had a nervous breakdown and then i got really sick so so it's not sustainable and then i wasn't able to help anyone so you must live a life in which you salvage the good and the joy wherever you can and not feel guilt about it unless it's at someone else's expense um because otherwise what good are you to anyone when you're just a husk

And women in particular are expected only to withdraw.
