Can we outlive time?

A personal reflection on mortality, ambition, and why building startups might just be a strategy to buy more time — literally.

🏁 Race Against Time

Let me tell you a little secret: I’m in a race. Not with another startup. Not with a deadline. I’m in a race… with time itself.
(Yeah, I know — dramatic. But hear me out.)

Here’s the deal:
Life is short. Time flies. And technology? It’s sprinting. Somewhere between AI writing code and scientists trying to 3D print organs, a very real question keeps poking at me:

Will aging ever be slowed down — or stopped? And if yes… could it happen in our lifetime?

Because if there’s even a chance the answer is yes, the next question becomes kind of urgent:

“What are you doing to help make that happen?”

This isn’t just me being philosophical over coffee. It’s a serious motivator — my big, looming, “why”. And if you want a more poetic (and heartbreaking) take, go check out The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant — a brilliant story by Nick Bostrom, beautifully animated. Spoiler: The Dragon is a metaphor. And it eats people. Daily.

Since I’m not a king…

…and don’t happen to own a summer palace I could sell to fund biotech research, I’m doing the next best thing:

🚀 Building.

My goal is to create a self-sustaining business that:

  1. Builds products people actually admire (and maybe even pay for), and
  2. Grows a team of talented, curious, slightly unhinged individuals like myself
  3. And eventually? Channels profits toward doing something meaningful — like helping humanity outpace the Dragon.

Yes, that’s ambitious. No, I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m moving. Fast.

So if you ever wondered why I’m obsessed with speed, systems, and shipping — now you know. I’m not just prototyping startups.

I’m buying time. ⏳
