That's why, I think, it's important for us to get our ideas down on paper, where they have a little better chance of surviving. When we are dead and gone, our ideas may still help some people. An underground paper, newsletter or zine is a way to record our ideas. A book is even better. A typewriter or a computer make a readable record.
Copy machines are a cheap way to multiply distribution.
Offset printing makes a more long-lasting record. I took some vocational aptitude tests to see where my abilities were the strongest. I was told my best bets were law or sales. I chose sales and mostly self-taught myself from books and trial and error. After you choose a path in life, if you find out later that it was the wrong path, you can always change paths and you will have learned something.
