Building cool things != being successful

[comatose_kid → Tichy]

What if I believe being successful == building cool things?

I think that's great.

To me, being successful is flying around the world blowing oil and spewing carbon in a decadent state of material excess, until I attain immortality and start meditating while bombarding myself with all of the energy around me.

That's fine if you can support yourself and your family financially.
