Thank you for posting this. Really resonates. I'm passionate about building the best (technology-based) products I can imagine, using all of the tools I've learned in my life so far, to the max, mainly intuition ("gut" over "brain", perhaps) (love making amazing decisions that hold for a really long time!) and imagination. Steve Jobs and Elon are probably the two biggest inspirations, and so are the respective companies they've built. At the same time I'm also passionate about being kind, being myself as fully as I know, keep growing and enhancing that. I'd love to get the chance to build these things fully into new companies I imagine creating. I'm also way into "woo-woo" (some might call it, especially on tech-/regular science-focused sites like HN) stuff like channeling. And all kinds of personal expansion-related things that are less "out there" but still quite on the edge, like conscious sexuality as a tool for human growth and blossoming, exploring the meaning and use of emotions, even and especially also in professional & business contexts, etc... Basically I want to be as fully what I see as a fully human being as I can, and practice and bring that into what I want to accomplish in tech, create environments for others to explore the same, if they wish. Current companies and orgs are boring and outdated in many ways, and I have a desire to build and offer something new, that's much more aligned with who we really are. I'd also be super eager to connect with folks raising their children in new and better ways. I still believe, as I did before I had kids, that "it takes a village to raise a child". So far I haven't found that village, or (most of) the people who would make up that village. I'd so love to start meeting those! (Kids are <= 10yo, we're living a somewhat nomadic life, between Austria, Germany, Croatia, Canary Islands, ... and I used to have a strong calling to come to California as well, which has been coming back recently to some degree...). No idea who might read this and resonate, but there it is. Thanks again for posting, made me feel a little connected at least :) I usually only read 99.99% of the time on here, but this got me out of my shell for a few minutes at least :) Very much agree, current internet needs a lot more of this particular vibe that we used to have back in the day, e.g. with actual old-fashioned forums inhabited by basically only those folks who really cared about some topic or idea that then realllly connected with each other! |
