I think it shows a complete lack of curiosity.
I watch a youtube video about anything like creating my own door fixtures through 3d print and metal casting.
I would immediadlty buy a nice old house, start working on it.
I have so so many things i don't have time due to money and work, he is so so far away from being intersting, it hurts to read that
You can see that's what OP did: he watched a youtube video about robotics (door fixtures), immediately wrote to 70 people (bought a nice old house) to start working on it.
But then he realized it's not what he wants to spend his time on
Nope. His motivations are capitalstic in nature and his idol is Elon Musk.
He doesn't care to help people or getting into robotics because he is interested in it.
He doesn't have a real deep relationship with someone to share his live with (he mentions his ex-girlfriend).
He is the type of human being who got lucky rich, but doesn't realize he is empty inside. Elon Musk is even worse.
Captialism as an endgoal for society doesn't bring us any closer to a Star Trek future and there are probably a Billion happier but a lot poorer people ou tthere than him.
He doesn't want to spend his time on it because his capitalistic thinking is so narrow that he doesn't care about the things which are already around him.
When you read the last thing from him " It’s the only thing that feels authentic." even his 'just learning physics' is not even authentic. He doesn't do it for being curious, he does it to " I can start a company that manufactures real world things. "
And the only interesting thing about this blog post, which i will forget tomorrow, is because we tent to like to read things which are more rare than others. There was not much insight or brilliance in his live at all.
