things i believe in

• humans live their happiest and most useful life when they find their life's work and go all in
  • that's been the story of my life. i was fortunate to get into robots and computers when i was 12
  • you find this by acting on intuition and curiosity, and making space for introspection
  • you need to let go of your domestication and start to figure out who you truly are
• now is the best time to build startups and improve human life
  • building for yourself is the best strategy to follow
  • stop replicating side effects from people you admire, start leaning into real substance
  • stop listening to people who reduce company building to a purely monetary pursuit, start listening to people who view company building as a means of self-expression and feeling alive
  • if it feels like play, it is a proxy for your life's work
• strong self-images are the biggest limit to your life. to be free, you need to detach from it and embrace presence (which is unpredictable)
• people prefer the certainty of misery over the misery of uncertainty

things i want to do

• build the school i wish i had when i was young (acta school of life) and allow young people to go all in on their life's work
• fix the potential gap of ai and the economic gains we have today (opencompany)
• just be myself, fuck all the masks, and make every day the best day of my life
