Aron Ra is an increasingly motivated activist, trying to affect positive change. They want to promote science specifically and education in general, and they’ve found that videos are the best way they can do that. To their experience, that begins with the denigration of science in favor of creationism and other pseudoscientific woo. They think if people know better, they’ll vote better. Their opposition knows that too; that’s why they do what they do. Aron Ra does what they do, not to promote themselves, but because something needs to be done, and they need to do something. They’ve also gotten a great many supportive emails and private messages over the years, encouraging them to keep going, because it is making a difference. So they’re going to keep going somehow. They prefer to make educational science videos that are entertaining and informative, and which appeal to people who aren’t scientists themselves. These require a substantial investment of time as well as money, and thanks to their supporters. They also want to continue doing classroom appropriate explanations of common core science standards relating to evolution. These are topics which most people have been mislead to misunderstand, and which many teachers find difficult to teach. They’re usually out-of-pocket for most everything they do. They used to work a dead-end job at a soulless corporation in order to fund their passion, but honestly, that alone barely covered the monthlies. They even told their boss once that their job interfered with their work, which is true. But thanks to patrons, they’ve been making more videos and reaching a wider audience instead. They try to make information-rich videos which require many hours of research and a lot of editing. Anything else they want to do requires time off to travel. They try to do it cheap, but they can’t afford what they’re already doing. They want to make more valuable content and be more involved, but the costs are such that they often have to stand back in silent rage.
