Notes

Joining your crew:

The stream was playing in the background and I am pretty sure I have heard Bachir say that you guys are willing to let people join your group and cause only if you truly share the same mindset and objectives.
For starts I didn't hesitate and immediately started typing you an email, but then I had second thoughts, what if I don't share similar believes as you guys, and ultimately we don't have the same motives.

I will start with giving you an insight of my views, and then more details about me.

Compressed thoughts:
I remember a point in my life around the age of 14, where due to some negative environmental occurrences in my life had caused me to develop a more rational process of thinking, and since then I have been asking myself what may sound a little bit of a cliche thought, the purpose of our existence, on a quick glance of this enigma I have come to see that we like all beings in our world, our only purpose is to reproduce and pass our genes, yet our bodies are designed with an expiration date.
Here is where I stumbled upon, you see, if we can't escape death, even if we immortalize ourselves, or manage to transfer our conscious into a machine, we can never escape eternity. So where are the motives behind helping each other, nursing the weak, right the wrongs, make the world a better place? We are all destined to die anyway, and in some billions of years our sun will too, so why bother?

Around that time my father had been diagnosed with tumor inside his spinal cord, that was a really big turning point in my life, but made we think more about that enigma more thoroughly, let's say for example that I am not willing to have kids, does that put an end to the sole reason of millions of years of evolution? This is where I realized that purpose is what you make it, and its more than that, we might one day become immortal, we might not, but that doesn't matter, a hundred, a million, even billions of years is like a blink in the eyes of the infinite cosmos, what matters is that we the people, and all beings in this world live in harmony and peace, live in a world where there is no hunger, pretty stupid in my opinion we do have the power to end that in our generation definitely, live in a place where everyone can and wants to study willingly and follow what there own purpose.

I believe that I have found a solid purpose in my life, something to drive me and motivate me, and that is to do what I see as the most righteous, change the world and make it even better for those who can't live in the same luxury as I do, and after am done with that I want to continue researching on our conscious and body and hopefully manage to find cures for different sicknesses and maybe one day aging. Even though I believe that aging and dying plays a critical role in the evolution of not the single human but the evolution of the world as a whole, yet I seriously lack the insights on that.

I have been watching almost all your streams since sharecraft, I got to know you so well, I have come to believe in you guys, and am certain together we can work and do great good.

About me:
I grew up in Cyprus, generally being the black sheep in my big family, I mostly played video games when I was young, but around the age of 14 I started learning different programming languages and practicing visual effects. I used to have a YouTube channel with thousands of views back in the days but that was when After Effects was still considered magic. Slowly when I entered high school I started reading different articles about science and been in love ever since.
Around year 2 of high school I had to move to Bulgaria due to different circumstances and lived there for about 2 years with my father, he lives in the most north-western part of Bulgaria called Vidin, the most poorest one yet there is where I've had the most hard lessons in my life, especially when my dad was diagnosed and had little money for surgery.

I came back to Cyprus around the Christmas of 2014, so I could get my apolytirion from my old high school because its better recognized in universities, I have served the army where it is mandatory to do so, but I've done only 2-3 months out of the 24 due to my strong against war believes, but we talk about that more in person.
I live alone and I have a low income working as a website designer for a really small company, I am being payed really low because I am no professional yet I haven't faced no difficulties during all my work there.
Right now am doing a gap year and I will be studying next year around October, and maybe I'll be moving back home to save some rent cash if this doesn't work out.

I am financially stable even though I don't know if I can keep my job if I move out, I might since I work at home.
But I have enough money in bank to last for a year even though I am reluctant to spend those only if it is truly for the greater good.

I can be a team person, but to be honest, I generally like to lead when am confident in the task that is assigned to me. Yet I understand that you guys work your own way, and you make the calls, and you have been successful so I know your way is the best one.

My expenses have never been much, so I kept saving money for almost 5 years, and after my dads surgery where everything was back to normal I managed to buy a really good computer so I can practice whatever I feel like doing.
cpu: i7 4930k
ram: 16gb
gpu: GTX 780ti reference

Time managing is one of strengths, so I can work on multiple tasks, however I can feel any role you want but it might take a little bit practicing first, afterwards there will be no problem.
