Reading Theology, latest in Tech entrepreneurship, and talking to people about their passions

Theology in general has always been deeply personal to me. I didn't have the greatest high school experience in terms of interacting with my peers. My family and I moved around a good amount of times during my childhood, leading me to feel lost and purposeless since I wasn't rooted anywhere. A benefit is that I had broad awareness of the world, having lived in Singapore and been to over a dozen countries. I read the Bhagavad Gita not out of my Indian tradition or heritage, but out of my own volition. From there I would read Christian scripture, including the canonical Gospels and some of the Gnostic ones. I also explored non-dualist traditions in different cultures around the world. One book, which isn't theological but deals with purpose, is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. I read it in 9th grade before the pandemic, and afterwards I started reading Economics more. 


I'm interested in Tech entrepreneurship because I like technology and the innovative environment the people in that space cultivate. Many are high agency people who love their craft, who are and will revolutionize the future. I made a drone in Middle School, and almost got it to launch, but things in my personal life such as moving and the disruptions that caused, made me lose that opportunity to cultivate that hobby. But now my interest is mainly in enablement, I want these people to live in a world where they can pursue their love of the craft free from top down government mandates and regulations. 


Talking to people about their passions, what they love beyond themselves and their base human instincts, is what I love doing. Providing a space for passionate people to discuss their passion in my experience fosters lots of growth and development.
