I think new experiences are the most important thing in the world. I think they are even the purpose of the world, because I believe in Kashmir Shaivism, which says that reality is simply a manifestation of one consciousness that has forgotten itself in order to rediscover itself and to express itself in new ways. That’s why we should all strive for new sensations, new impressions, new thoughts — in short, new qualia.

We should be doing daredevil shit all the time, and with incoming technology, it will be possible to do some pretty crazy stuff without dying or getting seriously injured.

But even if it isn’t daredevil shit, you can experience something completely new in a totally safe way. You just have to look for it. I want looking for new things to become a habit. My plan is to develop a huge number of ideas and gradually make them real, because it will become easier and easier to transfer diagrams into the real world — atoms arranged in accordance with my design, you know? Come and join in, write to me and tell me what you like, or what you’d improve, or what ideas you have yourself. We can become collaborators.
