I had been an academic all my life. As academics, you tend to believe the smartest people are in academia.
I have a really deep belief that we create technologies to empower ourselves. We've invented a lot of technology that just makes us all faster and better, and I'm generally a big fan of this.

I have a strong disrespect for authority and for rules. Including gravity. Gravity sucks.

I learned to basically pull my own weight, just do my own thing. I spent a lot of time alone and I loved it. It was actually really great because to the present day I love spending time alone.
