Values (Principles)

Philosophy as medicine of the soul

Life Principles

• learn to hack hack to learn
• transparency / truth
  • a lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity
• open-minded / humble
  • willingness to look stupid
  • being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn
  • I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing
  • the amount of energy necessary to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it
  • never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
  • most people aren’t evil, they’re just stupid; this includes ourselves
  • a little bit of truth exists in everything; but the whole truth in nothing
• reliable / responsible / accountable / ownership
• autonomous (async) / self-sufficient
  • bonus: side hustle / passive income
• deep product understanding
• creative / curious
  • logic will get you from A to Z, imagination will get you everywhere
• explore the unknown, make it known, support the unsupported (future)
• docs: "i know what i'm doing"
• no trolling
