Why do I feel like I’m the only one who took this to mean, like “sending the world on a different trajectory”? It seems like others took it to mean something else. From my 2017 song, “Changing the world is just a euphemism, for how can I, get you, to give more stuff to me.”

What kind of pathetic loser would give their life to that dream. There’s nothing in the world that’s worth it, even if the whole world was mine, even if everything was given to me. The stuff I want doesn’t exist yet, like immortality, super intelligent robot friends, and a five star hotel on Mars. If you want those things, you actually have to…change the world.


When I was 7, I’d go to my aunt’s house and play Super Mario World in the basement. I knew enough about computers to know that the level completions were just bytes stored in the memory of the system. Getting a Game Genie shoved that fact in your face, and it forced me to realize that if you wanted to keep enjoying the game, it couldn’t be about the destination, it needed to be about the journey. The hours spent grinding the levels needed to be the payoff itself, not beating the game. Because you could just beat the game by flipping a few bytes. Money is just bytes stored in the memory of the system.

There’s nothing more cucked than wanting to make money. You are literally spending your life to change a number in some other dude’s SQL database. The SQL database owner is the Chad fucking your wife. You are begging to fuck her when he is done. Please Chad who prints the money can I have higher TCO? You didn’t invent money, you didn’t create the things you can buy with it, and until you use it to actually change the world moving it around does nothing. The best you can hope for is that it ends up in the hands of people who can deploy it well to bring about a better future.

Money needs to be a journey, not a destination. It has no intrinisic value. Actually changing the world is what has value. Coolness has value. You buying the same dumb crap everyone else buys isn’t cool. Seinfeld gets it.


The worst part is some of you in the back of your head think that I don’t really believe this. That I’m playing some 4D chess to try to manipulate you to get you to not care about money so I can take it from you for myself. I pity you.
