Week 34: God and Future

I’ve come upon a post by Tim Ferriss. He mentioned a blog containing a list of 140 questions worth answering.

And since I love questions, I just sat and answered them. Here are the first couple of them.

1. What are you thinking about these days?
   1. Having and raising kids.
   2. Life at startup VS scaleups VS big companies.
   3. Short term pain (lower comp when starting something new) VS long term gain (freedom of a profitable successful startup.)
   4. Working on something I enjoy VS something that’s of benefit to winder audience VS both.
   5. Extended off-time to think.
2. What happens to your consciousness when you walk into a teleporter?
   • Stays the same.
3. What’s the most embarrassing cold email you’ve sent?
   • Nothing in mind lately. Which is a worrying sign (not being out of one’s comfort zone is worrying.)
   • I’ve sent many sales/intro/customer-support emails/whatsapp/linkedin messages in my startup days but I don’t think they can qualify as embarrassing.
4. Does time exist?
   • It just did.
5. Does god know the future?
   Wrong kind of question again. Since it entails that we can understand the nature of the God or a deity. The question is asking me, a player from within the game, whether the game exists, and if it exists, whether the creator the game knows how the game works and ends. The rules within the game do not apply to the creator of the game. Our rules and notions of time, past and future, within the game itself are of no resemblance to rules and notions outside the game.

More to follow in part 2.
