But it would be a community movie theater in which everybody who wants to help can watch for free and builds the thing and renovates the building. And so we ended up creating lots and lots of infrastructure. And I think when you are young and you don't have money... Move to a place where this is still happening.
Move to one of those places that are undeveloped and where you get a critical mass of other people who are starting to build infrastructure to live in. And that's super satisfying because you're not just creating infrastructure, but you're creating a small society that is building culture and ways to interact with each other.
And that's much, much more satisfying than going into some kind of chain and get your needs met by ordering food from this chain and so on.
And you don't always have that choice. That's why I prefaced it when you do have the choice. And there are many roles that need to be played. We need people who take care of our distribution in society and so on. But when you have the choice to create something, always go for creation. It's so much more satisfying. And it also is, this is what life is about, I think.
Well, the answer is that everything that can exist might exist. And in many ways, you take an ecological perspective, the same way as when you look at human opinions and cultures. It's not that there is right and wrong opinions when you look at this from this ecological perspective. But every opinion that fits between two human ears might be between two human ears.
And so when I see a strange opinion on social media, it's not that I feel that I have a need to get upset. It's often more that I, oh, there you are. And when the opinion is incentivized, then it's going to be abundant. And when you take this ecological perspective also on yourself and you realize you're just one of these mushrooms that are
popping up and doing this thing and you can depending on where you chose to grow and where you happen to grow you can flourish or not doing this or that strategy and it's still all the same life at some level it's all the same experience of being a conscious being in the world and you do have some choice about who you want to be more than any other animal has that to me is fascinating and so i think that rather than asking yourself what is the one way to be
think about what are the possibilities that I have, what would be the most interesting way to be that I can be.
Not everything is possible. Many things fail, most things fail. But often there are possibilities that we are not seeing, especially if we choose who we are.
Thank you, Alex, for this conversation. I enjoyed it very much.
