Hey, let me play the devil's advocate here and say that these are nothing but knee jerk reactions.

Call me cynical or pessimistic, but the time has already passed. Maybe we should focus on saving as much as we can.

Funding a few companies may be the right thing to do, but shouldn't it have been ten years ago. Or were the smartest people on the planet were hoping that it would all just go away.

It's already too late. Sorry, but you have to invest in saving as many people as possible.

Unfortunately, the politicians would never understand that.

Its actually funny. After decades of dystopian future being manifested in the literature and movies, we have come to believe that's it's all just another science fiction movie or a conspiracy theory.

We are heading towards a earth altering event, and we can't stop it.

Save yourself.


What a lovely message. Thanks for that.


You are most welcome


Well, please do correct me if am wrong, but I have always had the notion that most instances of extreme wealth throughout the history has always been built on some kind of unethical (unethical is a very mild word in my opinion) activity, or let's say some activity that was unfair to a large amount of other people.

Consider the wealth generated by Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. I can't take away from them the fact that they worked hard when they saw a great opportunity and made themselves insanely wealthy in doing so, but history will may not judge their actions in a way that they are shown as messiahs.

So I find all this discussion just a bit hypocritical to be very honest.

Comments most welcome to change my, rather cynical, opinion.


Hi Priyank, That's a great app. My few wishes:-

1. Reminders could be categorized as social, promotional etc. This will help in setting up priority as per the goal of your life.

2. Having priority based reminding. The app could learn based on long term training and ML, what reminders you generally want to take and then set you up to do the things that you least want to do for times when you are most likely to do them, so that your overall long term productivity goes up.

3. Incremental reminders.


Hi, Nice list of ideas I can implement. Thanks!
