Efficiency. I want to make the universe more efficient. For me, this starts by making humans more efficient. My ideal would be the Borg. I choose efficiency because it's inherently good. If you're more efficient, then you can reach other goals more efficiently, no matter what these goals are. Concretely, I'm tackling the problem of inefficient communication and thinking. I believe that natural languages are one of humanity's main bottlenecks and must be replaced with something better by at least an order magnitude. A completely new and computer-aided communication paradigm. I don't want anyone to ever have to communicate something that's already been communicated before. I don't want people to be able to express inconsistent ideas. I want to get rid of paradoxes and exceptions from language. I also want to make the world completely transparent, make data free. This means getting rid of privacy, another one of humanity's main bottlenecks. Privacy is irrational and selfish. My first step is to build a single application that aims to replace 80% of existing applications. To achieve this without bloat, a new interaction paradigm will need to be conceived. As I don't expect most adults to appreciate the value of the system (in my experience, they feel threatened) or have the ability to learn it, my targets are kids. TL;DR: I'm building a next-generation communication app for kids.

Since the Universe is spiraling toward oblivion and expanding I think that you are well on your way. Humans are masters of paradox which is kind of like dark matter appearing and disappearing at the same time in two different places. We are software as a service. The closest to a reasonable application is meditation where you sit down and do absolutely nothing as close as possible. Reasonably easy to acquire, meditation allows for communication to leap over bottlenecks in spite of language. Upon reading this sit quietly with your spine straight for 5 minutes while focused on your breathing. This is the amount of time it takes to download the meditation app. Once you have this installed it is only a matter of sitting down again with your spine erect while paying attention to your breathing to utilize it. Any thoughts that come during this time should be recognized as thoughts and ignored. After 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. Go back to doing whatever it was you were doing. Meditation can never be taken from you once it is installed.
