9/ now? New fears, new drivers Was driven by many chip on my houlder: -was short, young for my grade -no relationship with my father NOW: driven for my kids, my wife, my partners, our founders, ideas+ideals (Esp: pursuit of truth & calling bullshit to hypocrites, lies & liars)

10/ Randomness & optionality. Like an option, the theta decay, TIME, time's arrow = most valuable thing you have BUT you have NO idea how much of it you have Maybe you get an epic tome Maybe a tragically short comic strip You ONLY get to choose how you try to write your story
