I have never done this before so I hope this isn’t too rough. To start off I’d to just introduce myself a little. My name is Thomas Lass. I am 25 and I am super excited for the future developments that Blockchain technology has to offer. Also I love food, math and philosophy (I know thats a weird combo). Small talk is one of my least favorite things so I am going to get down to business now.

I am starting this blog to express my thoughts, hopes and fears for the future of humanity. My blog posts will cover a variety of topics from today’s horrifying world of politics, the beauty in feeding the hungry, the excitement of developing technology and all the way to my philosophical view of the world we live in. My intention is to share my thoughts and to hear yours on every aspect of our individual prospectives of the world. Constructive criticism is always welcome and desired, please comment!!

To start off I want to share my two most basic life goals:
- Always do whats best for me
- Always do whats best for everyone else
Some people say these two goals would be difficult to achieve. Others say that they are completely incompatible. But in my future posts I hope to explain how achieving these two goals simultaneously is absolutely possible and even necessary for the survival of humanity. Right now I want to explain a little behind my thoughts which lead to these goals.
One of nature's most beautiful moments
Simply put one of my core beliefs is if you are going to say something is “better” it must be better for everyone. This is the embodiment of my two life goals. I am an self-serving egotistical individual. At the same time I understand that I am also just a tiny part of the Universe. We all have our own interests and goals, we are also all connected and dependent on each other. Because of our connections and desires for the survival of ourselves and the human race we must promote the success of everyone. I hope you can see the truth and beauty behind my life goals. I know this is a short and incomplete description. I plan to dive further into this topic throughout my future blog posts. For now I want you to understand that I believe humanity must work together to achieve a better life for us and the world around us.

Now for shameless self promotion…
