![]() I've recently discovered that I'm my own person. However (1) the practice of prejudice continues when people judge from these inherited properties instead of from character, (2) generalising is innate and correlations between identity and character exist, however the degree that someone's identity has influenced their character fluctuates from person to person (so while identity influences character, remember to assess your judgements properly), and (3) due to the endeavours of my ancestors and society I've been afforded more free time (but no less agency) to spend continuing the tradition of increasing people's potential for self-actualisation (the head-start is thanks to my identity, the choices of how to spend my time is a matter of character). You may cast me as a privileged heterosexual white male born into a middle class society. If you ever want to talk about it, feel free. Since opening up about these aspects first to friends and then publicly in 2015 (at age 26), the overwhelming burden of shame I carried dissipated, which allowed me to move my attention from hating myself and hiding symptoms, to accepting myself and fixing causes, with the surprising help of friends and other strugglers, down the road to an ever more resilient life. Through difficult and often traumatic times in my life, I've had the recurring personal afflictions of skin picking, hair pulling, and panic attacks. ![]() The data cannot recommend this lifestyle more highly. I'm absorbed in the art of simple and nomadic living, with a vegan life-style and ahimsa values. Happy to cultivate friendships and business opportunities. The key skill set I've used to accomplish this is my natural ability to quickly understand complex systems and simplify them in disruptive ways, a burning need to do good in the world, and an instinctive tenacity for always finding a way even in the most difficult of situations. This has worked well for me so far for several years I was the most active Open-Source developer in Australia and one of the most prolific in the world my technical projects have been used in some of the world's biggest web-sites/apps (Basecamp, Spotify, Ustream) and by some of the world's biggest companies (Microsoft, Adobe, GitHub, Atlassian), touching their millions of users my non-technical projects have also seen adoption over the years. This is a big calling, and I'm chipping away at it steadily. ![]() I help make the web awesome.īefore I die, I wish to see everyone enabled to do what they love, share their love with the entire world, and live well. I radically explore the known and the unknown.
