He said what he's scared of is living a life range bound"

"So everyone's been starting this "daily video" posting challenge. I thought to myself: why not make it artistic I'm creating Rhapsody Diaries: 15-30 second vids that make you feel something. Custom music by yours truly :) S/o to @jackfriks & @YoniSmolyar for inspo 🙇♂"

"@_Shark_byte - Create a cool vid like @juliafedorin - Create a public pitch and rally your followers to tag them (what I did ;) - Create something out of the box that's related to what the startup does - If you know what role you want to do do the work upfront Hope it works out"

"This is happening. The tech craze is becoming Tik-Tok'ified. Let's be honest here: everyone's competing for attention real estate. We don't need more quick dopamine hits. We need great art again. A philosophy on how to live create and connect. @rhpsdyco - soon 🤍 As a former artist now working in tech I really wish that there were more creative events for tech/startup ppl Like we gotta use the other half of the brain too. Not just because I wanna see a bunch of engineers try and paint so I can finally be better at them in something As a former artist now working in tech I really wish that"

"The state of modern society is at such a critical conjecture point that I can't help but give my honest thoughts. I have [--] weeks left until I head back to the States for the first time since January and oh boy have so many things changed haha. Here are my unfiltered thoughts: Internet attention has become the new asset class. Almost like: hack the algorithm hard enough ethics become borderline optional. No matter how controversial it may become. Unconformity has never been so highly praised. Breaking the rules isn't the goal it's just the prerequisite. The cultural norm is to break the rules"

"I think I've found the secret sauce to creating content: I should stop giving a f*ck about whether an idea needs to be fully thought through. Being genuine doesn't come from polished ideas they come when you speak from the heart. And that's often when half-baked ideas win"

"@_Shark_byte So true Used to think the way was optimization. Collecting swipe files templates bookmarks etc. Thats literally robot behavior. What we need now is brutal honesty and showing our unique personalities online 🫡"

"Off the top of my head: - Steep learning curve setting up apps / payments - Culture feels pretty risk-averse homogenous - Cities can be chaotic oftentimes (loud traffic etc.) - Language barrier if you don't speak Mandarin fluently - A LOT of people esp around touristy areas Makes you appreciate the U.S entrepreneurial spirit in so many ways Can't wait to be a part of that once I'm back haha 🫡"

"A reminder that the world that you grow up in is only a tiny fraction of whats out there. Yesterday I visited Tai O one of Hong Kongs many fishing villages with a population of less than [----]. And guess what probably a majority of them have never heard of Twitter (what a shock lol). The people there live a simple life. Many of their homes are on stilts suspended a few meters above salty marshland. In their rooms they have nothing but a small TV a Buddhist altar of worship and mini turbo fans to cool them off on the humid summer days. For me - and many of us - that live such different lives"

"Hong Kong society is often known for its linear way of thinking. You go to a good school to land a good job in corporate. And do that for [--] yrs till you retire. But underneath all of that you realize there are small pockets of creative / entrepreneurial individuals who choose to pursue a different way of living. I've come to realize this after my meetup w @MeetKevon the other day (we even mentioned @p_millerd's "Pathless Path" :) and seeing huge creators like @AliAbdaal move here. And then seeing my Internet friends like @tyger_cho build communities bridging his cultural home of South Korea"
