Dorsa / writing / My Principles

Sept. 2026

  1. I do not project distant futures. I operate strictly bottom-up: living at the frontier of my obsessions and building immediate missing primitives.

    For the farther one projects into the future, the more likely they are to be wrong. By staying at the bleeding edge of a domain that fascinates you- building what feels like play to you but work to others- your personal itch becomes a natural proxy for where the world is heading.

  2. The pain of not getting what I truly want is better than the regret of not trying. Never downgrade an ambition to a “safer” alternative.
  3. I do not wait for complete certainty to commit. I choose the uncapped and unfamiliar path of possibility with infinite leverage over the safe, familiar local maximum.
  4. I observe people as probability distributions.

    For their behavior and driving forces do not exist in black and white.
