Values I live by
Put in the work
Hard work will always beat talent. It compounds when you’re patient with it.
Leave the world a better place
To know one life has breathed easier because you existed - this is what success looks like.
Expand human consciousness
Human consciousness is the only shot the universe has at intelligent self-orgnaization. Spend your life protecting and promoting rationality.
