Fulcrum

I will never be part of a majority.

I was not born into an aristocracy.

There are no functioning meritocracies.

I do not possess the gifts for leadership.

Archimedes said, "Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the world."

My lever is my writing, and my fulcrum is the permanence of my words.

Over time, people will read, remember, and act on my ideas. And that will change the world.
