An
Engine is Capital that can earn money on your behalf, so that you can focus on
value that is hard to monetise. Income is the lazy man’s way of comparing the
incomparable. We don’t have the capacity to understand each other’s worlds without
concerted effort. We are mostly too busy on our own stuff to try. We don’t appreciate
Free Riders and Lazy Eaters. The base assumption is if you aren’t earning coin,
you are leeching. It is a terrible assumption. A symptom of our societal
obsession with weighing and measuring each other, rather than seeing the person.
Not all ideas are good business ideas. Not all business ideas are good ideas. Most
of my time is spent on things that don’t make money, because I “front loaded”
my earning. I didn’t spend it all, but instead got it a job. It still earns
money. That enables me to do unpaid work. To explore. To get lost in the grass.
To appear lost, because I don’t have a big pay-check to print on my shirt. I
don’t have a boss to justify myself to. I am cool with that. The world mostly
isn’t.
