Next: Fyllos and FjordFI.\n\n## Some things I believe\n\n- Anything works to the degree it is aligned with reality.\n  - That which always works is the truth. Everything else is a substitute.\n- The greatest mistake is believing your own or others' beliefs.\n  - The culture you're marinated in shapes your perception, and your perception shapes \"your\" decisions.\n- Life is a playground to discover the truth of things.\n- Mastery is freedom. Competition is feeling good about a fluke in an endless battlefield.\n- It comes down to your intrinsic desires, not what society says you should want.\n- A perfect offer speaks for itself. It requires no convincing.\n- Honesty, clarity and simplicity work. Trying to get clever is how you sabotage yourself.\n- The best technology disappears. You don't think about the cup when you get a coffee.\n- Your days are numbered. Death couldn't care less about your 80th birthday.\n\n## Work together\n\nHave something you want to build?
