    Meditations:
    "If you're someone who kills monsters, then there must always be a monster to kill." -Rebecca Borgstrom, _TRE ORE_
    "There is hope, but not for us." -Franz Kafka

    Why I program computers: ananke, agape, arete

    Life goals:
    primary (when these feel impossible, I hate the world):
    Save the world
    Build a long-term, primary relationship (I win!)
    secondary (when these feel impossible, I hate myself):
    craft things of beauty
    build communities
    enhance personal awesomeness
    tertiary (when these feel impossible, I try something else):
    lend resolve
    see interest list


    I think we need an anti-interest list, so that we can register dislike of things. Here's mine:
    bureaucracy, cars, cheese, Microsoft, Sony, Apple, a ever-shrinking number of vegetables, oppression, pointless flame wars, testosterone poisoning, woo-woo
