Much more than trying to get people into the cancer. When Christmas comes around, I can actually discuss it without feeling pressure to drag people into a "Bah! Humbug!" mode. Instead, I can contribute something useful to it. I can also discuss materialism without totally bashing it--or investing time, money, and energy into something that is actually going to provide a return on my investment. Such as investing my time learning a few skills, money into gold and/or silver as a defense against hyperinflation, and energy making sure I have paddles when I find myself up that creek.
As a witless, my time would have been invested in field circus and boasting sessions that would do nothing when we enter the Greatest Depression. My money would be wasted in the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund instead of gold and silver (or stocks and bonds, if I realistically believed another Paul Volcker was coming into the Fed or the Fed was going to get the kabosh). Energy would be wasted on getting people into the cancer. And worrying about all the stupid rules--I no longer worry about all the time I have to waste getting out in field circus, protecting the pedophiles and silencing the victims instead of protecting my purchasing power, or trying to drag others into the cancer.
