On “Ask HN: How can I come to peace with the years I wasted on pointless things?”

…. But the motivation has to come from you, intrinsically, can't come from wanting to emulate or a type of FOMO jealousy of some "hero" types...tho do be inspired, don't be driven by a sense of comparative inadequacy, is what I'm saying in this my last point to you now, be driven by your own sense of wonder. Love to hear you share this! :) ;p xx ;p link to this video…

On “Stanford Is a Platform”

And listen to Steve Jobs’ Stanford commencement address of 2005. I know he would have endorsed the critique above: link to this video

On “ISteve: The Steve Jobs authorized biography”

Jobs wouldn't even endorse "iWoz" (probably because of the story of him conning Woz out of a fair share, long ago). "iCon" is the most perfect title I've ever seen - obviously the lowercase 'i' and Jobs' reality distortion field; but also the desktop metaphor featuring icons; and that Jobs is definitely an icon himself. Note we already have a brief Jobs autobiography, in his Stanford commencement address: text link ; video link to this video

On “Arguing for Immortality”

Death cleans out old ideas. I have a hard time getting over the feeling that an older civilization is also more conservative. Especially a civilization where the people with money and power are the ones who are older. "Death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent, it clears out the old to make way for the new." link to this video
