Then make them. What's stopping you?

I want to live forever and set foot on distant planets in other galaxies.

Got a prescription for that too?

I've made films for fifteen years. I hate the process.

Every one of my friends and colleagues that went to film school found out quickly that their dreams would wither and die on the vine due to the pyramid nature of studio capital allocation and expenditure. Not a lot of high autonomy in that world. Much of it comes with nepotism.

There are so many things I wish to do with technology that I can't because of how much time and effort and energy and money are required.

I wish I could magic together a P2P protocol that replaced centralized social media. I wish I could build a completely open source GPU driver stack. I wish I could make Rust compile faster or create an open alternative to AWS or GCP. I wish for so many things, but I'm not Fabrice Bellard.

I don't want to constrain people to the shitty status quo. Because the status quo is shitty. I want the next generation to have better than the bullshit we put up with. If they have to suffer like we suffered, we failed.

I want the future to climb out of the pit we're in and touch the stars.
