The most harmful idea that got into my head years ago was: "You can get settled down after you get your masters degree" Like no I just started exploring things. I barely learnt anything about the world being in school. Settling down can and should wait

Open sauce was one of those events I'll look back on as I meet new important people in my life being like "Omg you were there that day?"

I love how the bay allows me to let my intellectual curiosity run wild Often feels aimless but gradually it builds up a network with people who know that I love thinking deeply about a broad assortment of topics and I think that's valuable

Over the past week I've talked about: *scientific rhetoric at open sauce *the limitations that dialectics put on embracing love openly with a theologist *the necessity of death with a biohacker *air foil dynamics during a lab visit *envy of obsessive people with a VC

Having good conversations regularly makes for a good life It's so simple but profound

Obsessed now with the dialectic of using dialectics ie, knowing when to steep yourself in the contradictions and synthesizing vs when to forget about them to feel deeply and love deeply

No, because I have to think about them constantly But yes, because I live for my people and for art But also no because I am obsessed with the culture of tech and money beyond anything else and everything I do is in service of making sense of these systems

I love the beautiful people in my life so much. I don't deserve this 🩷

People keep asking me what I'm building but honestly I'm just a skill stealer I'm in the bay because this is where I can steal from some of the most skillful people on the planet People skills, technical skills, abstract thinking skills, artistic skills I WANT THEM ALL

Idk about Jake Wintermute 🧬/acc but if you're not getting weird doing bumps of oxytocin while playing poker betting new transgenes that inevitability turns into strip poker in an abandoned theme park in Interlaken, what are you even doing with your one wild and precious life?

Waiting for my phone to get fixed at the Google campus

Maybe the only way to dissolve a power dynamic is to have each party involved feeling like they're the one with the better deal

Nothing is as invigorating as being reminded of an aspect of myself that I had forgotten about

Really thankful for the folks who buy from my shop to support my lab. Using some of those funds to ship to places that are very challenging, but worth it. I got some to a uni at a jungle in Equador and now some South East Asian institutions. Warms the heart to know I can halp.

I wish the comments to this post were more "lets make this happen asap" rather than "expensive bc expensive and regulations" as if we cant follow reg requirements and just make it happen. We need more hope and bold ambition...

Maybe I'm not cut out for vibe coding This shouldn't be this exhausting should it? I have no idea what's going on

Fuck it I'll just learn React or Typescript or both in a few days

Okay I'm not gonna get out of this rut without studying epistemology AI epistemology nerds please hit me up if you exist

I think I'll have a career of reminding people in Biotech why they care about Biotech
