friends outside Arg asks me why I’m contributing to Arg
bc ppl here always welcomes me with,
- hugs and kisses
- asado
- mate
- songs and music
- genuine love
also bc, I made too many friends here to a point where Arg feels more like home than China 🤣
recently I’ve been a bit down and lost after Aleph ended. felt like a part of me slowed down.

Being proud and sometimes arrogant of what you built is normal, every founder has that more or less.
Being an asshole is different, it’s just who you are.
