Founders

i’m doing a self-study philosophy course alongside building /amp 

why? i’ve always pondered questions around ethics, which I believe are especially important for software builders, because if you really nail it you’re potentially creating consequences far beyond just your ARR. 

having done my first startup I notice the pull towards just thinking about efficiency (grind 16/7, binge huberman, “traction is king”, etc) with purpose often fading in the background as a result. I’m thinking this partial sabbatical of 2-3 months might help me answer the complicated and personal “why” questions and set me up on a good path

I’m reading great philosophical works chronologically - I started with Plato’s Republic and just finished Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics after 2 weeks of full time study. I will now continue, likely part time, half and half, filing my learning and interpretations in a cardboard slip box called “Zettelkasten” (look it up, super interesting!)

let's build clank.fun. prev: web3 founder, improbable, github, amazon. ntik.me

I love these sorts of deep dives into things. Need me a good read / research project
