Telos

My personal context file

This page is a subset of my personal TELOS file, showing my problems, missions, goals, metrics, and a few other TELOS components.

Problems

In line with this essay, these are what I view as the most important problems in the world.

PIDProblem
P1People lack meaning in their lives, and this is about to get far worse because of AI and robotics taking away most traditional jobs
P2People are stuck in a 1950's style hierarchical mindset that makes them think they're not one of the "special ones" with ideas and dreams
P3People have poor models for how the world works, and the lack the tools to properly improve them

Missions

MIDMission
M1Increase human Eudaimonia by helping people identify, articulate, and pursue their own purpose in life.
M2Build systems—heavily leveraging the latest in AI—that help people upgrade to the best possible version of themselves (Human 3.0).
M3Transfer (or store) my and B's minds into a format that we can upload into the next (digital) version of our lives.

Notes

  1. This feels very strange to put on the internet, because of how intimate it is. But... 1) it's not the whole file, and 2) it's worth it if it gets other people to do something similar.
