/wish

Sincerity publicizes all the warts and blemishes of the mind. My wishlist is honest and sometimes embarrassing. Many of my wants are contradictory, naive, selfish, immature, etc. But in spite of my discomfort, public /wish lists are sustainable.

This list contains prices for new items, but purchase pre-owned where possible!

Anyway, enjoy the meager dreams of my meat CPU:
charities, connections, lifestyle, books, diy, art, fashion.

Connections

CGP Grey, Sonja Lang, Adam Mastroianni, Gwern, Jan Misali, Tyler Cowen, Bret Victor, Bo Burnham, Bartosz Ciechanowski, Disasterpeace, Avery Truffleman, Ted Chiang, A G Cook, Kate Bush, Gerald J Sussman, Neal Stephenson, Jim Jennings, Jamie Loftus, ReviewBruh, Joanna Newsom, Björk, Craig Newmark, Patio11

These folks are huge inspirations for me! I'd be ecstatic to receive non-intrusive introductions.

I'm an aspiring tool hoarder! If you have any equipment you're not using, I'd love to give it new life.

Art

I am forever hunting for strange clothes! Feel free to surprise me with pieces that have (1) minimal branding and (2) no screen-printing. I am a particular fan of capes and ponchos.

Lifestyle

to not make Earth worse
to giggle and laugh all day
to have a maximalist workshop with every type of tool and gadget
to give people resources to work on amazing things
to live surrounded by nature
to be surrounded by deep and wonderful minds
to go on big adventures a few times per year
to live in a place where people participate in their community
to go monk-mode for weeks at a time and work on projects
to be involved in public conversations
to have effortless income rather than maximum income
to live a while
to have an outdoor shower and a sauna
to dent my bucket list
to celebrate novelty
no bosses, no masters, and no obligations
to make things
to be surrounded by friends
to share everything I learn
to live in an austere minimalist architectural home
to live in different places for a 3-9 months of each year
to be surrounded by ruses, pranks, projects, ideas, and moonshots
to walk everywhere
