Not enough time!
There isn't enough time to write everything that should be written, or to quality-check everything that I've written so far! I need an editor, a helper, a spellchecker! Despite being academic, I like real life too much to be the recluse that I could be - meaning, I like communicating with people personally, in depth, and there is too much to take in, in life, to avoid going out into the world and losing yourself in it.
Although you can get lost in life and enjoy it... the greater and harder path is the more solitary study and writing, the accuracy-checking and statistics-crunching, and it seems that it is this path that is worth something, whereas the former path is merely nice. It is so nice, it would be selfish (and unproductive for everyone) to pursue it too much.
