simplifieng does magic. Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and 20 other biographies that I read have in common that the great people try to delete "unnecessity". I try to practice it too.

teaching people and yourself is allways highest priority!!!

reading is the path to succes.. when I can read everything 3x faster I will be 5x faster then the other people. I read currently on 2x pace everything that I need.

like bill gates said: read a lot of biographies. AGREE. Biographies is the best source to learn about live without experiencing it. Biographies have a naturell filter for good decisions. You experience the most succesfulls peoples decisions and thoughts in First Person View.

I think it is the right decision to fire Yotam from the team. He is not capable enough. We have to be rigorous or we will die.

Talked with a chinese VC today, they are insane termsheets. Be carefull. But they are also way more outcome driven then US VCs -> probably because they have less money.

We now built JANTA -> to create the biggest tech company in the world. I think our biggest product will be AR. Because AR will fundamental change how people see the world.

this is interesting. some weeks ago I started making konstantin think better infiltrated in him the thinking of true thinking and now he is doing the same on me and is infiltrating the thing of skilling up yourself into me. hard but true.

healthinsurance is actually pain. trying to raise small amount to don't die.

arrived yesterday back in the US, wuhu. now grind it out to get some angels and build the product.

the aircrofts lifts up slowly his wheels from the ground and with every breething of a second we see more and more of the skyline of Shenzhen. and it feels again like a moovie. It feels like beeing part of the greatest live possible.

with less then 20 dollars left in total but a life worht living. a live like a movie. and I'm highly thankfull for that. sitting here in the plain again. seeing all this "fremd" people.. seeing the clouds. sitting next to my best mindshared person and experiencing the world. the world in his roughness, beaty, flaws, richness, lovlyness.

thinking about how to make the world a better place. about how I can contribute. about to make things that matter happen and help to make this place here on earth, here in the solar system more exciting and worth living for everyone else.

I'm very gratefull of experiencing this kind of movie.

tommor morning before we flew at 1pm we visited a big clothing brand and manufacturer here in China. they produce so high quality products - a t-shirt for 6-9 dollars, a hoody for 11-16 a zipper for 12-18... and allready shpped here. the women in the entrance bought us food for breakfest in a local small shop and showed us the chinese breakfest tradition. she was so kind and she was so happy that we were there. it was kind of stunning. all the people want to make pictures with us and you feel like you'r the god, the hero. thank you for this awesome experience China. we so clothing, in the highest quality. for big western brands... all manufactured there. and she showed us around. -> then we want for 1h with the DIDI (uber) to Shenzhen airport, made a very seamless checking and while waiting for boarding having calls with US/europe investors to make the thing happen. idk. what to say.

also yesterday was a crazy day. we visited 4 hardware Factories that assemble and produce chips and other electronic boards and devices.. the one company builds boards for Infineon,nvidia, intel and other major players!!! everything here in Shenzhen and the cities around. it is incredible to see how hard these people work here to make the live in our western cultures happen. we got invited for dinner from our last company that we visited and had a incridible rich and foodfull dinner with them. we head around 4h dinner all chinese quisine and tradition, they showed us around and told about China, Chinas plans and what is important for them.

actually we in the US think a lot about China and worry.. actually China don't really thinks about the US... they just think about how they can grow faster and develop faster. they don't really care about US.. they care about China. also she told us and a lot of other chinese people told us the same... that China is now heavily trying to improve their quality of products.. they hate the image of bad quality for made in China products. they want that this is a sign for high quality.

the evening was also out of a moovie. they payed for everything. they invited us to local other stores to drink hot milk and experience chinese culture... when we wanted to leave they wanted to wait all the time until our Didi is arrived. it was a long wait... because we had again a lot of trouble with the chinese firewall and app system. everything gets blocked and when I wanted to connect with the chinese women on WeChat... I needed to auth... with my ID to get here contact. so this is something that is really annoying here. we were at an local egg store 2 day ago and konstantin needed to use his ID and need to make a KYC for his scrambled eggs.

so the whole experience is a movie. sometimes it feels like a escape room, sometimes like your the prince, sometimes just like humans living there live.

Shenzhen is clearly developing very very fast... all of China is developing very very fast.

I'm thinking sometimes what are the problems of other people? when I see people what do they struggle with?? because it deemed on me, that actually everyone struggles with something. i'm currently thinking of a girl. not only to fuck, but to have love. just love. also Idk. if chinese girls are my type. but we will see. and this money part, we need to solve this problem of insurance, we need to make the world a better place -> so we have to find someone who supports this!

thinking in thee plane / flight about how we get this deal over the finishline... from where and whom. currently flying above shanghai and getting insane good food and service on board. flying to corea and then from korea to SF. --> and hopefully they let us into US... otherwise idk. this would be very, very bad if not. -> then we have the last money to get to the hacker house. and then we need to find a angel to back us.

flying to China Shenzhen... isn't it insane :) see the world at 20 and make the life insane. like a moovie. feeling the movie here. and all this experience together with a loved person.

i feel very thankful for that. also I feel like life is for every human the same... there is no human in the world that has no fear, or nothing that he is not worrieng about, or that he is not sure about or stuff... like that. every human is fighting the same game. isn't that insane?

the insanity of life. is that we allways think other people that have what we have, other people have only good days, other people have only fun, other people only have success................ thats wrong.

it's me flying right now above the clouds. it's mee seeing the world. it's me living a assymetric life.

broke but insane.

someday I will look back at this time -> I will have a lot of money and think. what the fuck was that a awesome time... where you didn't had a lot of money and just was broke but going insane in the world.

thankyou for having an insane live.

when we were boarding the airplane -> we were not fully checked in. so they pulled us out. we were the last people. they phoned around and just 8 people were talking, clicking in insane speed on their computers. and dadaa.. the tickets were in our hands 3 minutes later. they asked for visas and stuff... I was thinking oh no shit. did we missed something? but no. we just were right.

the thing that nobody tells you is that the only way to get a joyfull live is to bake it full of joy and enjoy it. i feel like a loot of humans have this problem. they don't see the beaty of live anymore.

Okay, we go all in.

I texted Muis mom.

"Hi, bitte erzähl Miu nichts davon. Wie geht es euch? Wie geht es Miu? Kannst du mir sagen ob sie aktuell einen Freund hat oder ähnliches und ist sie schon in Australien oder noch in Dresden? Liebe Grüße, Tade"

Saw this bolivood moovie with the Indian heroes. That didn't wait. They just do it. Gor inspired from them to just start...

I feel like I need here just mentally. If he can love me like this here. Without money but with a mission. Then she is the right one.

She knows me best. She believes in me. She can give me the energy to get this 10M round done.

Maybe I got right now more trouble. But live is only fun with trouble.

Miss u

every application based on social interaction will work good.

ar will change how we see the world. it's not a replacement of the phone, it is something completely different.

the thing that will make AR going viral are social interaction applications.

we live in a world of screens and we screen the hole day long and the best thing we do is screening... everything happens on screens.... we are a screening society.

what we do is putting a overlay of the real world, putting a flexible screen into an onto the real world. my guess is that the most viral thing of it will be seeing informations in realtime about other humans. store informations attached to humans... not somewhere in the web.... just directly atttached to a human beside his face. looking into a street seeing what the people do, which music they here etc... these days the displays gotten good enough (META Displays). the killer applications will be everything that searches the net... and helps to kategorize people / storing informations about people around there head etc... I think the first thing that you allways want to have when you look at a person is: -Name -Age -Backround -Current Goals -what you talked about before with this person.

I can imagen everyone living in a different world but all in the same place. Why should not everyone have their hyper personlized world. Why should not everyone have the ability to change the colors or the brightness of their real world?

also I sleep here on a selfmade couch bed in the living room basement in arcadia. it doesn matter. it's shitty. but the right people sourround us. therefore it is good.

we have no mony to spent anymore... just 500 dollars for the next 2 weeks. thats not a lot. because we also go to china etc... so basiclly we have nothing. but we will survive. we allways survive. and the goal is to fight the problem. but for context my later self is hopefully proud of me not giving up.

-teached yotam. setted some goals. new tasks for the next days... it's just about executing the right things. fast. I like how we right now shape the company after our own thoughts how we bring things in to grow faster and build the best working team together. started with the book rule. everyone can put into everyones else calender just a book to read with a deadline. and when there is this book. everything else does not matter. the only thing that matter is to finish this book until the deadline. because growing and teaching is the most important thing. I kind of like this. secondly we really have as our advantage communitacion and fast execution. the is the highest lever that we can pull. we keep going with the podcasts. keep going with the other stuff and just allways pull the levers of faster... and better communication, which lead s to not working on stupid stuff.

how I'm? idk. if everything will work after plan. I feel like there are so many unknows. and we need to be so fast. that is insane. also this money raising part of 10M preseed is a huge thing. for firsttime founders raising 10M some people say maybe insane. so wee need to know why we actually need so much. to defend it and articulate it clearly.

-were today together with yotam and konstantin in escape room -worked on the risk model the hole night. -listened to book from book rule (jensen huang..) -started outreach to angels. -had 4h disscussion with konstantin and Yotam -had discussion with konstantin about how to integrate yotam... + how to upgrade comm. and learning. -booked flights back from china to SF. -> btw. idk if they will let us in. hopefully. I mean we make this country actually great. so we try to change something here in the country. so this is important! -there are so many things that can go wrong. and so many things that can go right. the difficult part is to go into the right direction and don't get messed up by noise. so the most important part is that we solve the problem. the problem of a bad health insurance that everyone hates.

i'm not exciting about it, I'm not worried about it... it's just a thing that have to get done. and so far there is noone that I trust that will solve that problem. no other company that I have seen. nobody. so we are the only valid company in the world that actually might be able to change this. so we should allways keep going. no matter what. no matter how hard we are to die. this problem causes people pain. and thats not needed!

today was demo day here in Arcadia... is cool to see some smart people presenting their ideas. and also I appreciate way more know this place here. the pixels come together... there were so many interesting people here in Berkeley, living here and building great stuff. I'm really thankful to have this sourrounding here, this berkeley sourrounding.

btw. I did not wrote a lot in here in the last days. i have some doubts on Yotam. He is not the smartest person... but idk. the people that he said are impressing are not impressive. had a long convo. with konstantin about him. I'm not sure... every story of founding something succesfull is that you hear you need to be hyper pickey about who you pick for your team... so why do we have Yotam on the team? he is not technical, not really smart and also has a limited mindset. but he is maybe fast in execution. actually I think konstantin grew a lot over the last year. he got also decent technical, so I'm proud of him. and proud of his mind how it developed. I think I pushed him especially good into the direction to question more things and ask more often if this is actually true.... he often now these days troubles me up with the term. this migh not be true. which mean he developed this good sense.

also I figured out that actually asking good questions is the most important skill these days. there are answers for everything but the questions are the streets to new answers.

so developing the magic of questions is all the time worth high.

also here is so much noise in SF.... so many people that have a startup. but a startup means nothing!!! a startup could mean you started yesterday... or you have millions of users. so don't trust people that say they have a startup. everyone can tell stories. view can actually build.

called with Joey (hiteyjit) today. I think I could help them to get motivation again to keep going. That's good.

I want to thank to Julia Harms, Rome Thorstenson, Marmik Chaudhari, Spencer Kinney, Yiğit Kılıçoğlu, Alessio Toniolo, Erik Bach Ryhl that right now here in Arcadia make me think faster.

I started developing as a leader the plan with Konstantin and Yotam, how the most customer friendly insurance on the planet integrated in a new health system could look like and what we need to build.

We sat down foe 4h and made the tasks ready fir the nwxt 6d. Idk. Where this will go and if after the next 6d I will say it was wrong to go with a random guy named yota to explore and build stuff. But I trust my gut. And my gut says it is worth testing it.

Basically the goal is to build in 6 days a fully production ready and functionell insurance that was never done before + a new health system around it that nobody build so far so detailed and integrated. Sounds cool? Yeah, it's a lot of work.

It's meaningfully work.

From a company perspektive we tap into the most valuable thing in this century (data). So our goal is to collect and connect as much data sources as possible aggregate it under one user and the mage magic with it.

Today I feel actually really good. Because today since a long time I see a clear path again hiw this might work.

Still yotam in our room is searching, I hate him for that. But yes the founder livestream is really boring but we get free food here, what is good. The outside is not as beautiful as Berkeley, but you need contrast to value what is good.

Without contrast everything would seem Grey. So we need the bad stuff to see good. We need poor people to feel rich, we need unhealthy food to eat healthy.

The only way to appreciate stuff is by seeing a contrast. So when I go and travel alone that's the best thing I can do, because often we see a contrast.

Today there where some "mahnungen" I'm briefcases so yeah, was not so cool when my mom sent it to me. Hopefully she will be not so worried about it.

And still there is this weird -750 bill from scalable that doesn't go out of my had. So it is the struggle in the building and always changes of moods in every second that make it so.... yeah.

You always get kicked in your ass wgen things work good. But you also always overlive things that are hardly bad, where you think that's the end.

arrived at the actioners house for the actioners week... (https://live.actioners.com/). feels a bit tasteless and empty everything. this is crazy but, arcadia is one of the single places that actually feel like family so far. Arcadia is a family. here it feels again like artificially grouping people but with out conection with each other. But we will see. so far not the place to live longer then for some days.

so for me the most important thing si to help humanity solve some important problems.

idk. why but elon nailed it: "if we are succesfull does it matter to the world"... this is maybe the single best question to qustion your work.

but the believe to have a meaningful live is burning.

today I coded mainly right.. helped the german waldorf girls @freya to get a interview with tokio hotel and follow her dreams. I mean to believe in yourself is one of the most important things you need to learn. I actually believe these days it is the most valuable skill that you can have. because executing is not anymore a thing of smartness... because we have these days smartness in a bottle (AI) which means you only need to have the will and believe to start executing.

the last weeks was a bit weird. because i was not really motivated to execute stuff... because it was very diffiucult to understand the world. by understand the world I mean. it is dificult to understand why humans life and what is the meaning of life. so yeah. this brought me to read Nitzsche, Socrates, Asimov, Biografies of Obama and other stuff that I could found.

also the china thing made everything more and more confusing. idk why. but I feel that china might be the most important country in the future. because all this americans worry about and china only focus to get stronger. China works. US demonstrates. but this makes the whole scene more weird. because every european founder says to you... "go to US, when you want to have meaning". but this is not actually true maybe anymore? but people say it.

also I started to watch porn again. Idk. why but probably to have a time don't thinking about how the world looks and what the role of humans are.

this thing made me very thoughful and confused. like why do we exist as humans? how are we different to AI?

but most important the question that is still floating in my had is: what is the most important thing to work on.

idk why... but allways when I start something i think emediatly is this actually important. which often leads then to the conclusion no.. and my motivation goes down...

I found out that I have this 3 month cycles. I have an idea or a thing.... i go deeper in it I understand the problems -> new idea is coming into my head... think it is a better one... and the cycle starts from new... this is bad.

anyway.

it is so difficult to find out what is true and what not about life.

but I feel this makes you go forward. founders are basically people that predict the future and then try to build on this prediction.

so it feels that I should learn how to predict better. but for this I need to understand the world.

so today I helped the german girl (she is 14, smart). -programmed my stuff (this site to the end, so that it is now officially on the web). -still thinking about my goals for this year.

i was calling this year (living my 21 year on earth.) the year of achieving. every goal this year is something related to an achievement... the last year was the year of learning and experience... this year is fully achieving.. which means executing a lot of stuff..

my grandfather and grandmather donated me 500€ just on my birthday for the china travel. Im really thankful for that. I was a bit scared from it. because it was just out of the blue and I looked on my phone. but I'm actually so thankful. thanks grandpa, and grandma. your the best that I could imagen. I want to give them back so much. They are truly great. i'm currently still broke in a sense that I have zero money and our gmbh has a runway of 1-2 month ish...

but this thing makes me also shown I don't want to be dependent on my family. i want to have the succecfull startup. i feel the chip on my shoulder, because there is no other way. there is only the way of having success with the startup. id dropped out of school. so they expact that I will get things running. I also believe in it. but I still have fear. and doubts.

I just wrote this at 2am so it is still valid to say it is the 3. november. :)

sometimes I think I'm crazy, sometimes I just want to change the world and sometimes I only want to be a kid again.

Today was my 20. birthday. yeah. and actually it was really cool. but not that cool that you expected. I worked mainly and had a video call with my family. We were calling the day I showed them berkely. because I'm rigth now in the USA in berkely. actually.

it was really cool to see my family together again. i mean there is some bad vibes some day. and mom, dad are not happy with each other. and this spreads over. but today was cool.

also my one grandmother that I do not have so much contact with had a awesome thing to tell about how they produce there morning act.

• yeah so took some call with founders from sf for insurance -> im still not sure if this is the way to go...

• figured out today that i need to set goals. because that's the only way live is not so confusing. Goals makes live easier to understand, because you can channel your focus on things that you think are important.

• also I still believe we have no free will and everything is actually only a matter of what we observe which leads to, that our goals are also only a matter of what we observe. yes, but hopefully I observed good things.

• im still broke (around -600€ on the bank) but confidente to change the world to something positive. I still believe that those who think they can change the world and thos who think they can't are both usually right.
