If You Want To Make A Difference
April 13 2023
A manifesto for the downwardly-mobile. This post offers gentle anarchy, economic clarity, and a call to comfort over consumption. If you want to make a difference, start by making less noise—and fewer purchases.
If you want to make a difference in life, the universe, everything…
- stop believing the economy is more important than the people
- realize the economy is the rich
- tax hike the rich
- stop selling out to your children
- stop trying to fix the cure, and fix the problem
- get off the greasy pole
- become downwardly-mobile
- see the beauty in the small
- comfort the poor
- find what matters to you
- throw your gadgets away
- have a happy childhood
- and stop whining
Harry is a recovering satirist, part-time philosopher, and metadata tinkerer. His archive spans two decades of metaphysical mischief, theological punchlines, and poetic nonsense. He believes in satire’s transformative power, the elegance of expressive metadata, and recursion—once writing a poem that never ended and a script that crashed browsers.
