I humbly disagree, and if you have not competed at the pro level in an RTS (Starcraft is another absurdly hard game that requires hundreds of actions a minute) then I believe your view is skewed. When I code all day there are tasks I can au

Wow, I love this edit, I’m agnostic myself but that seems rather neat. I remember reading about how Warren Buffet, despite not being particularly religious, has read the Bible like 7 times or something. I always found that rather interestin

I have a solid CS background and tried once to read GEB and while very enthralling I could only get about a quarter through. I will have to try that one again. Cheers.

I was fortunate enough at uni to have a professor who edited Dick’ Exegesis and had a wonderful talk on it. During the process, which took many, many years, he said it would often become a task not to get so wrapped up in it all. At moments

I needed this. Thank you. It’s been all rah rah on my side of things but I totally agree. I want to make an impact on the world and with this accelerator interview, I have somehow landed a dream come true, but I think my biggest risk is not
