I just tell people I play and get paid. Sometimes it's a video game, sometimes it's spewing whatever foolish idiocy my face shits out in here, but I'm currently in the business of exchanging nonsense for cash. Sometimes I call it work to see if I can keep a straight face... I never can.

Oh, then there's all the interest and dividends, but that's a different game...

Edit to add that it dawned on me I kinda already am into whatever I want.

I’m not good at most of it or credible by any stretch, but some days I’m a philosopher, others a teacher, most an idiot, as clearly stated above, but sometimes a mad genius, whether anyone else agrees or not, lol.

I’m being playful but not to distract from a valid point. We all do our thing here but no one is beholden to it.

You could stop talking about futurology and technology, dress like a clown and rant about your disapproval of the mating habits of African bees.

You’d lose a few followers but gain others. I’d stick around just to watch. That’d be an epic twist. But the point is we already do whatever we want, here and now, and we’re only pioneers with primitive tools. Just wait until civilization catches up.
