I felt things got to peak silliness when a friend of mine (who had gone on to make a fortune) bought his first $20,000 watch. I mean watches are cool. I'm not a watch hater. But, this was a guy who had never cared about luxury things for all the years I worked with him. I used to get a little jealous of my friends who went to the bay, got connected, and made it big. But, nowadays I feel very, very fortunate to be able to spend the rest of my life being a dilettante - painting, reading, writing, cooking; learning about quantum mechanics, math, cosmology; and watching as Kurzweil's predictions come true. It's bittersweet, but what an amazing experience and time to have lived. When I was kinda depressed a few years ago after I stopped working, someone recommended that I get into 'Web 3.0'. My brother called me yesterday to tell me "it's amazing, man - they figured out how to update websites in realtime because they use blockchain." I'm not joking. lol.
