At 44 i've realized, nothing matters, everything matters. "After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box." That is whatever little world you've built around you that's all you've got and all you are ever going to get. And this little world principle even applies to people like Musk,Putin,Trump,Thiel,Bezos and so on. Best case scenario in a 50-70 years you are going to be very dead. We have not made a real breakthrough in life extension yet. Sure health is very important but you are buying yourself maybe 10-20 extra good years. That's nice, but how nice? People delude themselves that what they are doing is important it really isn't. As long as you can keep the fiction up that's great. It is a depressing thought but also liberating. Chances are you are a decent person, that's fantastic. You have a family that's great, if someone's single at 40 that's fine too. You have an urge to skip in the meadows go for it. You want to play videogames all day go for it. You want to enter hackathons go for it, you want a startup, go for it. I wear mismatching socks, my teenage daughter abhors the thought, but mismatching socks do not worry me.
