But for the first 12 years of my life, I go to sleep without knowing whether I will wake up. This existential condition instilled in me this habit, that I need to make public everything I learn every day, because otherwise I will not be around the next day. Publish and then perish. Right, so this idea of publishing before I go becoming a core motivation so that I think of myself as a conduit, like the good ideas entering my mind, I publish it every day and then I go to sleep and I can feel safe, because even if I don’t wake up, it’s already in the public domain. And so, that’s why I renounce copyright for all my work, because I cannot deny 70 years of people who want to enjoy my work when I go, right?
