I'm building NOX. A centralized obsession to make computers do everything for us.

I'm in pursuit of the most interesting life. And would like to be the 17th person on Mars.

I believe we're living in a second renaissance. A cosmically small number of people have the opportunity to change history - what a breathtaking privilege not to squander.

I fell into technology backwards. The curiosity to reveal magic tricks ignited my most flammable obsession. At Stanford it became insatiable. I found my people at hacker houses where nocturnality became my identity.

The best software rewrites your model of the world. It ushers a sense of wonder that secrets are left to be discovered. I especially admire that software collapses power structures - that relentless turnover is a defining feature of capitalism.

I marvel at Amelia Earhart, ASML dominance, hypersonic jets, Machiavelli, remote-viewing, HALEU, Japanese land in the 90s, Cicada 3301, and the ancestor for whom I owe namesake, Richard Cantillon, who understood the power of proximity. I still maintain the most ambitious thing you can do is start a new city.

I'm an uphill person. I run before dawn, race triathlons, play poker (which for a stretch, was my only income in college), sail until I can't see land and write handwritten letters to strangers that resonate.
