Who Am I? (Core Philosophy & Roles)
"who am i? i dread this question. although, i have been taught to believe in various societal constructs and norms, i have a hunch that i am beyond the physical and spiritual. hence i have started to reduce my belief in mind and body. both feel too limited, too clumsy to capture what is actually going on."
- As a Philosopher: i just want to know who i am. and through neti-neti, what i am not.
- As an Engineer: to build from first principles, turning software, silicon, and mathematics into deterministic leverage for civilization.
- As an Entrepreneur: to venture fearlessly into unknown territories and solve humanity’s most stubborn, existential bottlenecks.
- As an Investor (Babylon): to back researcher-first founders. to fund deep, unforced breakthroughs across applied AI and applied sciences when no one else will.
- As a Citizen: to see india rise as an undeniable technological superpower, ruthlessly weeding out the radicals, separatists, and anti-nationals holding us back.
- As an Ascetic: i am a sanatani. aham brahmasmi. i believe i am you, the sat. and ultimately, i yearn to return to my ground state of shunya.
