I'm sorry. I didn't make my point with sufficient clarity. You
are always "crowding others out" in the sense that others *could*
live in place of you, perhaps people entirely different from you.
One way for you to achieve this is by becoming someone else. But
so long as you remain you, this "someone else" won't be.
