On ambition

Jun 08, 2007 10:27

Had a long rambling post on newfound ambition, but it was bad. Cutting it short, it's time to get to work. There is no more perfect time for individuals to shape the course of history. With ideas alone, we can better the human race in a very tangible way.

It's comfortable to be an elephant frolicking in an elephant's forest. It's infinitely more difficult to try to shatter the illusion of seperatness that's tearing humanity apart and crippling the human race.

I do not nor will ever have the philosophical solutions. But maybe, just maybe I can help create the tools that allow humanity to figure it out.

The internet is still so new.
This new century is so raw.
Upheaval is all around us, sitting on my ass feels almost criminal when there's so much opportunity.

There is no more perfect time for individuals to shape the course of history. Everything old is breaking, new things must be created to take their place.
So many people think the world is ending or doomed.

No, no, no, it will be doomed if we try to do the same damn things over and over again. We must build the new future. It must be done, and no one is going to do it better than us, the first generation of this new century.

Just a while ago, I thought being a successful author was ambition. No, that's just a conclusion of Enjie's natural abilities. I need to take risks now, I need to level up. I need to dive into a churning sea of possibility and confusion and fight for breath. I need moral vanity, I need ego humility. I need lots and lots of money. I need a faster brain and a better firmware.

I need to do so much.
