Whats the point of living if you never get to indulge in curiosity all the way down?

  I’m someone who’s constantly pushed myself way from internal thinking. It’s still seems shiny, but over the years I’ve come to desire being able to share an interest and someone else actually give a damn. So I’d say “because I want to make an impact on other people’s lives” and I’ve never had internal thinking that resulted in anything someone else would care about. In fact I’ve never had anything original come from it either. Maybe if I had a Ph.D. In mathematics maybe I could do this, but all my best ideas have come from insights derived from conversations (sometimes years after the fact though, so to someone with a worse memory they might seem spontaneous).

  Well judging by the article, you get to be an incredibly rich cool person at parties.

    But whats the point of money if you still don't get to do what you want to be doing?

      You can be Thurston Howell and bribe Gilligan to go make your coconuts different from everyone else's coconuts.
