The average human lifespan is about 4000 weeks. When you put it that way, it’s a terrifyingly short amount of time.

I’ve been thinking a lot, over the past couple of years, about what I want to do with that time. Mostly I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to solve interesting problems and build interesting things.

I feel like living in a society that demands I keep reacting to ragebait is ultimately bad for me solving interesting problems and building interesting things. 4000 weeks is precious little time to have. I feel like I’m running out of it.

I don’t know where I’m going with this, except that I choose to prioritise building and I can only hope that I can build things that benefit others.
