Instead, I come from journalism, a field where otherwise high-minded and privileged people seek poverty.
Haha.

The problem with the established... Add any label. ... Is that the establishment (state of mentis currently (mind)) wants you to follow all of the same rituals in order to come up with something new. If you don't perform all of the rites the same way you will be ostracized. If you come up with the same thing over and over then it means that the system works by pointing out how the outside people are not doing things the way that the inside things are done and that's why nothing is working.
More central planning. Govern me harder, Daddy.
This is why creating tools is the way. Tools allow for things to be done and only a skilled craftsman can do the most. Hence the saying, "if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail." This saying is artfully posed by unskilled dolts who have never actually used a hammer. As a matter of skill a hammer with a claw can pull nails, compact ground, excavate and open beer bottles. In the right hands the hammer is a lightweight multirole device.
Ancient tribes symbolically used the single axe as a symbol of power. Eventually the double axe signified the chief. Fascism surrounded the axe with a bunch of sticks making it useless. Then Fascism took a bunch of sticks, called it fags and burned heretics. The court system changed the double axe to a gavel. A judge, then ordered the witch burning by beating the gavel.
So it goes.
Nailed it.
