🧠 Philosophy & Tidbits (click to expand)
In Memory of Aaron Swartz — Knowledge and software must be free, transparent, and accessible to the public.
Terry Davis — "An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity."
Bukowski — If you're going to try, go all the way. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. DO IT. All the way.
Nietzsche — "I know of no better life purpose than to perish attempting the great and impossible."
Sagan — "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."
Camus — "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer."
Einstein — "The important thing is not to stop questioning."
Curie — "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood."
Final Witty Last Will — "When I finally shuffle off this mortal coil, don't you dare mourn. Get out there and make the future so freaking brilliant it makes my posthumous halo glow brighter. You're welcome for the utopia you're about to build — largely thanks to my foresight, obviously."
