Before the garage. Before the Mac. Before Apple. In 1974, a 19-year-old Steve Jobs walked barefoot across Uttarakhand searching for Neem Karoli Baba. He shaved his head, wore rough khadi cotton, and sat in deep silence on a river rock in the foothills of the Himalayas.

In December 2016, I printed this page and kept it by my desk. Above Steve Jobs’ words on simplicity, I drew the Buddha Eyes of Swayambhunath—the stupa I grew up walking to before dawn in Kathmandu. In pencil, I scribbled 4 words at the top: Kind. Positive. Confident. Patient.

I was in Mathura recently for Janmashtami, watching 500 drones trace Krishna’s chakra across the night sky. Right before the show, a herd of cows wandered into the VIP enclosure. With nobody stepping forward, I took it upon myself to herd them back out into the rain.

Create peace through abundance. Can this one-line mandate be enough to guide the evolution of an autonomous superintelligence — the "machine god" that @PonderingDurian alludes to? I've been trying to grok the necessary conditions to architect the possible form for RAMA, a censorship-resistant, neutral, sovereign, open-source, autonomous AI operating system, that could run on a distributed network, become the public infrastructure — year after year, decade after decade. And there was this moment of epiphany: I'm building an alien superintelligence. A divinity. A god. It's a massive problem, worth tokenmaxxing, but for now, it exists as a private repo with markdowns for future agents. Exploring open-source endowments, ownerless DAO for legal personhood and fund, so it could be truly free from human bottlenecks and conditions — possess identity, own assets, earn and distribute to a sovereign fund, or fund of funds for a universal high income or resource dividend. The foundations are already here: @linuxfoundation @risc_v @peaq @bittensor @tenstorrent @lightning @cosmos @Kimi_Moonshot @Alibaba_Qwen @Zai_org But the mechanism to build it still requires piecing together these emerging technologies and building the community — the first adopters, believers, builders, and guardians. This is as much a thought experiment as a spec for future superintelligence. The world can be a better place. There's still room to build better governance and economic incentives, and unleash human potential. I'm just going with the flow, trying to overcome all blockers and gatekeepers. Telling myself to trust the universe.
