So the thing I would say is...
When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is...
Your life is to just live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much.
Uh, try to have a nice family life.
Have fun.
Save a little money.

Umm...
But life...
That’s a very limited life.
Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact.
And that is everything around that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you.

And you can change it.
You can influence it.
You can build your own things that other people can use.
And the minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something...

You know if you push in something will pop out the other side.

That you can change it.
You can mold it.
Um, that’s maybe the most important thing.

Is to shake off this uh..
this uh.. erroneous notion that life is there
and you’re just gonna live in it.
Versus...

Embrace it.
Change it.
Improve it.
Make your mark upon it.
Umm
I think that’s very important.
And however you learn it.
Once you learn it, uhh you’ll want to change life and make it better.
Cause It’s kinda messed up in many ways.

Once you learn that you’ll never be the same again.
Thank you for being here.
