I grew up in a small nickel mining town in the east side of Canada. The son of a crazy psychiatrist. Our house was covered in books. There was maybe 10 people in the town who were not Caucasian. And so from the beginning, I was just an alien, an outsider, and the son of a crazy psychiatrist.

So Austrian economics, we were early to organic foods, a lot of these different health trends, arcane rhythms, a long time ago. That's kind of the milieu I grew up in. Because he could see for his patients, how much the conventional practice was not helping, how much just the drug paradigm, the materialist scientific reductive paradigm just did not understand that we have psyches.

There's a whole deeper human that's just the factory medicine model is not working. I mean, so he was very anti-authoritarian. He was very... could see how much the conventional view did not work. And that was kind of bred into me. And that's what this is, is a lifetime of kind of questioning the, the Holy cows as, as Jack puts it.

And so, uh, I just read widely and was really into astrophysics and just curious about like, what is the universe and what, what's, what goes beyond the basics. So, um, I, as a kid, really looked up, because my dad read a lot to me about Bill Gates and all these technologists, and I thought they were incredible. They're able to create things that determine the society.

Oh my God, this is wonderful. You're pushing the human race forward. There was a Steve Jobs quote at the time. He said, computers are bicycles for the mind. Have you heard it? I heard you say it on another podcast, but I haven't heard it before that.

It's so captured me, which was he was like, humans are incredible, but actually in so many ways we're median. And so he gives the example of locomotion. If you look at the energy efficiency of locomotion, humans compared to all other animals were kind of somewhere in the middle. At the top are ospreys and birds like that.

But you put a human on a bike and they are by far the most efficient animal when it comes to locomotion. And his point is like, this is what computers are. A human is not bad, pretty good, but you put them on a bicycle and suddenly we're the best. And so as a human, our minds, not bad, pretty good. It's what gets us here.

But the point of a computer is what is all the unrealized potential we have that we haven't explored yet? And so that just captured me deeply that, oh, wow, this entire world of technology and computing is to help us be the best version of ourselves to fully realize our potential. And the journey along the way to get to this is seeing how much that promise has not been fulfilled.
