I walked through this by myself and it took a decade to do so.

Always crazy to see that these things are as old as we are

He doesn't care to help people or getting into robotics because he is interested in it.

He doesn't have a real deep relationship with someone to share his live with (he mentions his ex-girlfriend).

He is the type of human being who got lucky rich, but doesn't realize he is empty inside. Elon Musk is even worse.

Captialism as an endgoal for society doesn't bring us any closer to a Star Trek future and there are probably a Billion happier but a lot poorer people ou tthere than him.

He doesn't want to spend his time on it because his capitalistic thinking is so narrow that he doesn't care about the things which are already around him.

When you read the last thing from him " It’s the only thing that feels authentic." even his 'just learning physics' is not even authentic. He doesn't do it for being curious, he does it to " I can start a company that manufactures real world things. "

And the only interesting thing about this blog post, which i will forget tomorrow, is because we tent to like to read things which are more rare than others. There was not much insight or brilliance in his live at all.

Familiy is an option. But being curios and having hobbies also. Or helping people around you. Or starting to think about the people around you and enjoying the support you can provide.

I had my nihilistic depression phase for a decade. There is not much to it.

I watch a youtube video about anything like creating my own door fixtures through 3d print and metal casting.

I would immediadlty buy a nice old house, start working on it.

I have so so many things i don't have time due to money and work, he is so so far away from being intersting, it hurts to read that

I have thousand of projects i would do yesterday with proper money.

Buying and renovating or buying my own house. Creating a park with different influences (japan, china, asia etc.). Doing a lot of arts and crafts and experimenting with things. Building my own workspace etc.

And when everything is settled, having space for friends and family to visit and use this too.

And after that, helping people around me.

I'm also lost why this person thinks being rich is boosting. I'm very happy with my relationship with my wife and it doesn't sound like he has anything to really boost about.
