I am killing this persona.

A word to the wise, Atlas.

Loud announcements mean nothing in real life. Real progress takes determined action over time. It took me over 40 years to discover this, so I don't begrudge that your posts so far include lots of loud announcements with little evidence of the determined action over time. Also, it took me over 40 years to gain the same understanding of society and freedom that you already have, so props to you!

As for your new persona: it's going to become obvious anyway, because there's no-one else in the forum quite like you. So why bother changing? You're going to turn 18 anyway.

Yeah, in all seriousness it will likely become evident unless you greatly overhaul your behavior to no point. Anyone who mocks you because of your age was never seriously considering any of your ventures to begin with, and this will only make things worse.

He doesn't have to change behaviorally, just watch his post content.

I see where he's coming from, also. I was 23 when I became a retail business owner and I've been told I look much younger than I actually am. Consequently, I had several customers who refused to believe I was the owner or manager, thinking that, at best, I was the owner's son. I can't say with any certainty how much business I lost because of this, of course, but I can attest to the fact that many people will judge you based on your age.

And just to get it out of the way - No, I'm not Atlas.

It is my suspicion that you are ragged on not because of peoples' prejudice toward your age, but rather some of the (in my humble opinion) crazy content, propositions, and opinions you espouse.

[CNMOH]

If you don't know where this is from, you haven't lived.

...crazy content, propositions, and opinions you espouse.

Nice try, Atlas.

You can read me like a book.

Dude, remain as Atlas. While some of your posts are extreme opinions, i honestly don't see what you are trying to escape, i like most of your posts. Changing a nickname is like changing clothes to change your shadow, fuck that remain Atlased!

I agree with this sentiment to some extent. Don't be a coward.

[CNMOH]

I'd also prefer if you stayed as Atlas, really. We have very different opinions, but you are very intelligent. Honestly, the thought that you were 17 never even crossed my mind, as even though you do have your immature moments, you sure know how to formulate your opinions in a concrete way. You're certainly very knowledgeable for your age, and I doubt most people see your age as a problem.

[myrkul]

Atlas, If you feel that your age really is the issue, then use a different nick for a year or two, then come back to Atlas.

In the meantime, enjoy the meme you've started.

[BitcoinPorn]

Mmmh. You assume you'll be able disguise your
age with a new persona ... to achieve this, you're
going to have to work on form depth  and substance,
I think.

Do you mean the depth and substance that you will be showing us znortlas!

I'll stay. I just became extremely depressed last night. I'll abstain from being impulsive from now on.

Thank you all -- for everything.
