Here it would be interesting to hear your definition of 'success'.

Your pen name, for instance, is an interesting choice, given that the entire enterprise that is western civilisation, has demeaned philosophy and within philosophy, ethics has degenerated into mere word play, with little to no no bearing on people conduct themselves. Ever more lethal forms of killing are developed by the West in its universities and laborities with barely a whimper of an argument against their genocidal and ecocidal outcomes.
