I'm still trying to figure out what path I want to take the future. Two things fascinate me: human potential and the secrets of the world. Let me explain: I'm interested in how we can maximize human greatness, how we can become as good or skilled as possible. I don't know why, but this has always fascinated me. I want to see how far I could go in life by developing "virtue"(in the Aristotelian sense)and skills. Eventually, I want to work with education and others to see how far society can go as well. Maybe it's because I'm still young and hopeful, or maybe it's because I read a lot of self-help books, but I truly think that every human can achieve so much with education if they have the right motivation. Not with the current public education we have, but through learning about science, philosophy and self-development(kinda vague, but I hope you get the point). It be fascinating to see how far individuals--society--can achieve. Second, I want to discover secrets, to figure out how stuff works and create something from that knowledge. In a grandiose sense,use that knowledge to change the world. A conflict arises: On one hand, there are the infinite secrets of the natural world that we use science to discover and utilize it to create. However, there are also secrets inside the other world of business and government--society's history. I think discovering secrets like that would be satisfying as well and could be used to create something better. But whatever I eventually want to do, it seems to always come down to Money. As much as I hate to say it, I'm starting to think that money drives this world, whether it's applying for grants for research and of course, in all the business and government that runs this world. I want my independence in the future, and I want my curiosity to be free. And its seems like money inextricably buys that freedom. I don't know. These are just thoughts. TLDR: I'm coming to the realization/belief that wealth is tied to many things in life, and my future will be inextricably linked to attaining wealth. But not for showing off or buying fancy shit though. More so for somehow "changing the world" and liberating myself. Just some thoughts for now.These ideas are still ruminating but that is the general outline.
