(Diary)
I don’t work *for* anyone other than mankind and my people. Otherwise I have customers, partners, and friends. Compensation, when necessary, is just part of the cost of cooperation on one thing vs another thing. As such I have generally built companies that serve others while providing me a vehicle for research and development. 😉

(Explaining this to someone today. Why? Autistic tendency to treat everyone as a peer until proven otherwise; trait disagreeableness meaning non-conformity and preservation of agency (freedom); ADHD that means we can’t focus on it if it isn’t interesting; and lastly that I’ve had a moral mission since I was twelve and I never deviate from it.
Why? Mankind is always running in the dark with a lamp in one hand and scissors in the other. Humans need all the help they can get. 😉 If only so they do less harm to me and those I care about. 😉 )
