The nihilistic trap of spending time with my wife and children?
- carapace 4y agoI don't know about "nihilistic" but thinking you're "oldish" in your mid 30s could be interpreted that way. If you live to be 70 you're only halfway through, eh? Anyway, you're young, already semi-retired, with "plenty of money, and live a very comfortable life" "spending time with [your] wife and children", and your regret is not being able to help create fusion directly (as opposed to "merely" investing)? Not to be that guy, but uh, "must be nice". Seriously though, congratulations! You seem to have won life. :) I'm curious about your motivation for your original comment, do you not want encouragement to go back to school?
- thepasswordis 4y agoYes it is really nice. No I don't want encouragement to go back to school. My point was that helion is a really cool company, and anybody with the credentials to work there should should be happy about it.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoThat part is the good part! But more is needed. They will expect more from you. A role model that inspires meaning to them. That comes out of whatever you are doing and studying. And congrats for achieving that position where you are, that's brilliant. A lot of people is unable to form healthy functioning families. But you in the inside will want more, you'll eventually be hungry for things that aren't transient. You're in a great position to study classic philosophers and ask the big questions in life and see what comes to you from that.
