Thank you, I am riddled with self-doubt sometimes but working through it by facing it instead of avoiding it.

I live in Kauai, a few miles from him. I know people who have worked at his property too.

Right now on the North Shore there is Mark Zuckerberg, tons of wealthy people moving in, AND a giant mega resort called the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay all putting strain on the economy and ecology.

I am still carrying through with my vision of a better world. It started back in 2010 when this account was created. I was laughed at then for wanting to take on Facebook. I never quit and kept learning this whole time. I am close to Mount Doom now, Ring is still in tact. I am a little beat up after the Maui fires and that I had to relocate to here but I'm still going.

I remember reading he sold his residence there. I could be wrong. Maybe he has multiple homes there.

I'm afraid to share it here just yet while I flesh out the final edits but I can email it to you and we can discuss privately.

We are actually very similar, I love to be minimal but elegant at the same time.

I live in Maui, all my possessions can fit inside my Honda Civic. My office can fit inside a backpack.

I want to upgrade to a MacBook Pro, from iPhone 13 Pro to 14, fix my iPad 2 Pro. I have a few subscriptions but am going to consolidate as much as possible in the coming weeks.

Design checks all the boxes for me. I am naturally gifted in this field, deeply interested in how everything works, how I can increase quality of life for all beings.

> There's a kind of excited curiosity that's both the engine and the rudder of great work. It will not only drive you, but if you let it have its way, will also show you what to work on.

We are going to meet one day PG and I will thank you for encouraging me since I was 17. I am 33 now and determined as ever.

First thing I would like to see gone is business bros sharing 'guides' after you follow them, threatening to start charging real soon. Go fuck yourself, get a real job.

I know what you mean, my life has unfolded in a similar way.

What I have realized is that until we evolve our hearts and minds, no amount of technology will solve our collective existential crisis.

With that said, I am still young (33), live in Maui, and am still hungry and foolish to try new and bold things. :)

It's fascinating how everything that make up civilization is being reimagined as we speak. This is really just the beginning of a new millennium and look at all that's already happened since 2000.

> Watching that video, I did what I often do when taking in the news these days: I stared in disbelief, briefly wondered about the difference between the dystopian and the merely weird, and went about my business. But I kept thinking about those clips

like yes sometimes The Atlantic comes off as pretentious but that paragraph really speaks to me :O

I worry about this when it combines with the inevitable dissolution of trust in truth due to ai generated stuff.
