I think it's impossible to make money off of sharing abstract knowledge. Can you prove me wrong?

Because I've tried to make money off talking about philosophy and its just futile. I thought of the 48 laws of power for instance and then I realized that book is just obvious hot garbage.

I thought of so many other things like economists, internet bloggers, and even psychologists. And they're all either just spewing lies and falsehoods, writing a whole load of useless filler, or making money in some weird abusive way like taking taxpayer dollars, embarrassing college campus kids or something like that.

I think if I could go back in time with the best writing possible, I couldn't convince anyone that the Earth revolves around the sun in a way that makes me money...

Yeah dumbass. You see people prepared to throw money for some reason and you take that from them, you don't 'sell', its not on your impulse but theirs, you just take it from them.

Are you sure you read?

My point is that you have to determine where and for what reason people will be splurging, and make honing in on that an important part of your work because that /is/ your work now. This is not a deviation, it isn't thinking like a salesman or marketer or merchant class, an extra job that you have take up, but this is integral to the value of your work. Either you are lucky to find yourself standing on something aligned to succeed and don't have to think about it or you don't and realize you'll have to actively work out something that is satisfactory.

Don't care not reading troll go away

>>24952790
If you can't decode that maybe you aren't cut out to "transmit abstract ideas"

Go away troll(s) I'm not saying anymore about this trolling

I think it's impossible to make money in general. I just can't seem to do it no matter what I do. Sucks not being from a decent family who can set you up with a bullshit "job".

>wah wah my family didn’t give me handouts
Shut up faggot. Make some money like a man.

There are many people who make a living solely from technical blogs
>>
>>24952773
It's not impossible because people have done it and still do it. What you mean is: it's very hard, and a lot of factors go into it. Yes, indeed. That's not a particularly unique insight.
>>
>>24952773
the only way to make money through mere knowledge (so not skill e.g knowing how to do x but rather knowing that x) is through deceit and corruption, see charles ponzi and wallace fard muhammad or joseph smith.
>>
>no tomoko gf
Why do I even bother
>>
>>24952876
Technical is not abstract
>>
>>24952895
If you gave an example it would be someone making money through other means than being abstract, I gaurantee
