Exasperation: We will finish the Alpha for use by small interested parties by the first of the year. And this changes my world a bit. I can live anywhere. I just need to visit my staff now and then, and I very much want to keep the business in Ukraine, because of all Ukraine has done for me. I love L’viv, because Roman is there, and he is my editor, advisor and coach, and I will forever be grateful for all he has done for me in every aspect of my life, – more than I can ever repay. I also have enough friends in Tallinn to be constantly happy and the widespread use of english would be easier on me. In the greater London area I could have access to other philosophers who help me through constant criticism – although I feel more at home with the quiet in Ukraine, so maybe one of the secondary cities would be better (although not my family’s ancestral towns in the midlands.) I have many friends in New York, but the intellectual movement is not in the states any longer, its in Europe, and NYC is so LOUD and so depressing for a white protestant male that I prefer London. Seattle is NOT an intellectual community, but an engineering center – but I have many friends there, and my business partner Max is there, and I have access to VC’s there, and I will spend the spring on capital, branding, and marketing, because the product is at the point where the remaining features have no material UI dependence (my contribution). My family is in new England so if I lived in Connecticut or Boston, I could be with them more often, despite the fact that face-to-face confrontation with the daily progress of the death of New England might be too much to bear. The Russians have killed the economy in Kiev for the time being, and their incremental plan to reconquer Ukraine proceeds.
