This blog is my effort to equip my younger self with all the tools to flirt & fight with, the entropy of the world(maybe in the multiverse).
I thank all the humans who built the tools that brought us here - fire, wheels, code, flight and ideas. Their high agency shaped our world and I hope this blog will equip all the humans who come across this to - cultivate high agency & create better tools that carry our civilization forward.
- Got an undergrad in aerospace engineering
- Inspired to visit the US after watching a video on SV, I finally had the opportunity to travel there through a competition.
- Moved to UK for MSc in Space Exploration Systems
- Working on something new
Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.
- Machiavelli
During my undergrad in aerospace engineering, I dove head first into everything engineering and design. Chose things out of curiosity and tackling things way beyond my skill set, learned along the way, most were successful, some failed but learned a lot and made lifelong friends.
- Spent most of my UG in pursuit of something while building and exploring and realized it was agency at 21.
On brevity of life:
- Average lifespan of humans is 4000 weeks considering you live up to 80 years, choose how to live it or don't.
- Entropy is a constant state of the world, build systems to navigate it (only way out).
On building:
- If it doesn’t defy laws of physics, then it can be built.
Some fundamental truths I came across:
- The truth with opportunity is, it never announces when it comes. It’s only after it’s gone you'll realize that you missed it.1
- When confidence comes from results, you gravitate toward doing easy things. When confidence comes from the ability to figure out, nothing can stop you.1
