Freed from a prescribed career path I struggle in the under-funded startup land. Previously was torturing myself with different forms of higher education. Oh woe.

foreign and constructed languages, AI, start-ups, non-fiction books, Rick and Morty, and anything I have not learned about in enough detail.

Effective altruism -- a data driven approach to maximising the positive impact of our charity donations.

Is long and moving. It features explosions, plane crashes and crocodiles, as well as Meryl Streep as mother of triplets. It evolves from a thriller through a comedy to a family drama, and ends with a song and dance routine straight from a West End musical. I learned about the existence of TED a few years ago and the first talk I have seen was by a very eloquent 12-year old girl. From then on I have learned countless new things from TED talks, and expanded my outlook what I thought I already knew *everything* about. I got involved in the TED Open Translation Project and worked on over 65 TED talks to bring them to the Polish audience. In a way TED can be compared to a Bollywood film—it evokes all possible emotions, from curiosity to laughter, from inspiration to tears. To me it very often gives hope that in this gloomy world there still are people with passion. People who despite difficulties strive to achieve their goals, no matter how strange, or hard they are (erm both the people and the goals :P). To me TED brings together people with a shared longing for discovery, and is a constant reminder that *anything* can be appreciated, neurobiology equally with music, and physics with swimming.
