That, right there, that is what makes me go: You know what, go for it. Best of luck, go make something, go try something.

You're absolutely right. So much talent is wasted on getting people to click an ad, stay on a page just a few minutes longer, watch the next video. So much time, so much money thrown into the dumpster fire of social media, ad tech and stupid "but as-a-service" solutions. It's better for everyone if the funds are directed towards something that might actually make the world a better place.




Not just that, but fusion will never happen if no one tries their hands on it because everyone says it can’t be done.
