we decide what we want, we discover what we need. hopefully we iterate on what we want as we research what we need

innovation is failing until we find something we want, maintenance is keeping something we want from failing. its all about what we want

10) I realize that building community is a major part of how I get to build & understand at the level I do now. I must live this value fully

9) I am a builder not a fighter. My response will be to strengthen and rebuild communities. I will create space for bonds to form.

8) I believe it is the systematic destruction of communities that got us to this place, and now my communities are under attack

7) Many of the people I found are not even in California, let alone from here. It turns out community isn't purely a function of geography.

6) I moved across this country to find more people I could build and understand with. I found them. Turns out many are not from this country

5) I value building things. building to give people joy, building to help people work. Building because it makes me feel human.

4) I value community. Connecting with people who share my values. Working w/ them, eating w/ them, learning w/ them. understanding them.

3) I value gaining understanding and sharing it. this I have pursued almost single-mindedly for more than 15 years. this is now under threat

2) what I've found is that I value a few things deeply, but I don't honor all of them the same. First, I value understanding.

lately I've been examining my values to a depth I haven't attempted before. brought on by external forces that are threatening them.
