No. The IRS tax agent will be way more helpful.

My Facebook account got hacked last year and it was a nightmare. They got access to my ad account and racked up $4k worth of charges.

And, somehow they were able to get into my account over and over again. I’m super technical and careful about these things. Even after changing all my passwords and resetting everything, multiple times, the hacker was able to steal my account.

After being locked out for several days, I finally managed to reclaim access to my account through an old reset email that I found.

I changed my account email address and that finally stopped the hacking.

The worst part is that Facebook support completely denied that my account was hacked and refused to refund the ad spend.

It was so obvious that I had been hacked. You could see the spammy ads and the sketchy email addresses that had been added to my ad manager account.

I tried everything and Facebook told me that there was nothing suspicious.

I finally went through my LinkedIn network and found someone who works there and they helped me get the issue resolved.

Horrible experience.

Conscious beings not being present does not mean that consciousness is not. This article basically asserts that your cognition of yourself as "conscious of the world" (as you imply here) may be inverted. The big bang may actually be the birth of consciousness, which we, as human beings, are gradually becoming more conscious of.

I’m a little confused here. Isn’t Keybase a slack replacement product? Why is the CEO of Keybase using Slack for any company communication instead of his own service? Am I missing something obvious here?

I’m not sure your point about the fully burdened real economic and environmental cost being higher than the repair cost makes sense.

First, you’re assuming a world of infinite resources where production and disposal have no burden beyond their direct consumer cost which is simply not the case. Common consumer goods have massive externalized costs that are not reflected in the final price tag.

And second, the idea that I can offset environmentally detrimental choices by volunteering elsewhere also assumes that we live in a world where those original choices don’t compound.

Recently I almost threw away our stove because one of the burners melted. I was about 2 seconds away from submitting an order online for a new stove when my wife asked how we were going to dispose of the current one. Suddenly, I realized how tragic it is to throw something so massive. I got my screw driver out and tinkered behind the stove for 20 minutes, ordered a couple parts, soldered a little here and there, and had the whole thing 100% operational with a total output of about 2 hours. I honestly could hardly believe it myself. I did the same thing with a broken chainsaw too. And it’s so rewarding to actually fix something.

If you’re even remotely handy it’s remarkable how easy it is to fix things that you might otherwise just throw away and replace.

I don’t see a link to the actual text. Is there somewhere to read it?

This article went in depth about the author's perspective on the social implications of doing what you love based on the author's definition of DWYL. She didn't examine her definition or delve into what the expression might mean, or how the people that use it might mean it. For all her research, it doesn't seem like she asked even one person - "what does this expression mean to you?"

Doing what you love isn't about what you do, it's about the relationship you have with what you do. Whether you're working a menial job or running a company, the love is in the self awareness. The love is in knowing why you do what you do and how it affects the world around you.

Understanding why you do what you do is not a privilege reserved for the elite. Aspiring to do work that is meaningful to you, that allows you to fully explore and cultivate the things you're interested in, is what makes us human.

i mean it. i think there are lots of things that factor into creating a more peaceful world. a major aspect is each person's relationship with themselves and what they do. there are some very practical challenges around a person making a living doing what they love. we're figuring out how to make that easier. it may seem like a very bottom up way to approach peace, but change happens one human being at a time.

Sean - love the new video and love the work that you're putting so much of your story into this. i have no doubt you will realize you're "crazy" dream.
