Do you practice religion?
Not even a little.
I thought of starting my own, but having seen what people have done with ones founded by genuinely wise and good individuals (e.g. Buddha & Jesus,) I became preemptively disheartened about the prospects for one started by the likes of me.
Do you remember life before the internet?
Yes. Travel was dicier because you just showed up in a random town and took whatever room you could find. Sometimes going door to door, making inquiries.
But people occasionally paid attention to what they were doing and to other people in their immediate vicinity, so that was kind of nice.

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
Being healthy of mind, body, and in one’s closest interpersonal relationship(s.)
Yes. It’s absolutely attainable.
I subscribe to the thinking of Epicurus — i.e. “Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.” And Socrates — i.e. “The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.”

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
My body. 100%. Nothing else is in the ballpark.
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
When my body dies, I see no reason to not let my ego die as well. Trying to do otherwise just seems like a futile plot to keep my snowman upright through July.
