Spite a bunch of fuckheads and make some cool software whilst not forgetting to have fun along the way.
To spend time with the people I love.
I used to be flourishing as an artist. Now I’m just trying to not end up in a camp within the next 4+ years
ideally producing scientific research and art but in practice I’m just trying to minimize my own suffering :/
Find out who I really am
I don’t know.
It’s to overcome challenges and become a better person. To not live like an animal, to have morals, strength of character, treat others well, help other people.
Basically the opposite of what the TV and social media is telling us.
Is it?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.
Correct the mistakes of my ancestors.
Can you elaborate on what mistakes they did?
Inventing Java.
Remarkable. Why do you think it’s you that should do that?
Who else will?
Your descendants, hopefully.
…to do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, to be square, and to obey the law of the pack.
Pretending that working my ass off to make a ton of money (not for the sake of it, but because I don’t want to work my entire life) will eventually pay off.
To enjoy the world and minimize how much I prevent others from enjoying it as well.
How do you do the first?
Personally, I indulge my wanderlust and love of good food.
It doesn’t feel like you’re living a cliché? “Food and travel”?
I don’t give a shit. It’s fun as hell and I get to cook wonderful food for the ones I love.
Nothing wrong with living a cliché
To work for some asshole and make just enough money to get by.
My purpose in life is to produce poop and pee. I work hard so that I can afford food and water so that I can eventually poo and pee. I have an urge to reproduce so that my children can also poop and pee.
Why would you wish that upon them?
There’s nothing better then a good poop.
It’s a solved problem: metamucil.
Every poop good, good poop is no longer special.

To enjoy myself. What exactly that means, changes over time.
To reduce human suffering by some degree, even if it’s insignificant in the big picture.
