NEURONS - EP 5 ABU A Year from Now...
-
- Society & Culture
My friend Abu can be frustrating because he has all these ideas of how he'll change the world, and he has in small ways, but that's not enough. He has a kind of all-or-nothing state of mind. Saving the world sounds similar to gambling, if he's got one lifetime, one hand to play, better go all in, anything less would be a waste. This, IMO, hasn't been working.
When I first interviewed him, it had been a couple years since he quit his job and, by my calculations, he was running out of money. You'd think it's not too hard to get a job but Abu has other mental things going on and the possibly of homelessness was a real concern for me. For Abu, not so much, which only made me more worried.
