Wear the uniform Think long term (like 30 years from now) Build stories and languages, not things Create your own universe (or join ours) Collect samples Be a sample for somebody else Look for loyalty, not for a skill set Do not build utilitarian products. However, use them as a medium to express yourself Do not exploit introverts — doesn't work long term. Learn to be an introvert yourself Travel more Do not work for corporations. Old corporations were meaningful when their foundеrs were alive, but now, thеy have outlived their relevancy. They exist only to keep their numbers growing New corporations are no better. They have scaled up features, and today’s founders want hyper-growth for growth’s sake (it seems like every line of code, every feature deserves its own corporation — it sure doesn't) So, fuck the corporations Tell the truth (bullshit never works long term) Study and research fashion Your phone is a temporary feature — don’t spend your life on it (like you wouldn’t spend it on a fax machine) Fuck likes, followers, fake lives, fake friends Remake your environment. Build it for yourself, and people will come Only trust those who make things you love Move to LA Don’t buy property Don’t go to Mars (just yet) Use only one font, just a few colors, and just a few shapes Use spreadsheets, but only to map out 30 cells — one for each year of the rest of your life The next three are the most important The past doesn’t exist — don’t get stuck in it Don’t go to Silicon Valley (it’s not for you if you’re still reading this) Remind yourself daily: you and everyone you know will die We must build the most beautiful things We are 2046 kids
