The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance.

Hanging out in ibiza with a bunch of friends and partying with famous people, able to do whatever I want, and I've never felt more isolated.

In sweden, I will sit around and wait for my friends with jobs and families to have time to do shame, watching my reflection in the monitor.

When we sold the company, the biggest effort went into making sure the employees got taken care of, and they all hate me now.

Found a great girl, but she's afraid of me and my life style and went with a normal person instead.

I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of assholes that made me sell minecraft again.
QuoteMarkus Persson @notch

People who made sudden success are telling me this is normal and will pass. That's good to know! I guess I'll take a shower then!
That one here was a talk with a former co worker:

QuoteMarkus Persson @notch

@pgeuder like three people thanked me for the two million kronor after tax bonus i gave from my own private money. Others said I was cheap.
QuotePatrick (パトリック) @pgeuder

@notch That seem way too few of us to me. I mostly hated you for leaving, but that was only during the shock, you know that <3
QuoteMarkus Persson
@notch

@pgeuder i do not know that, nobody reached out and said it was just initial shock. So fudge all of you. fudge you so hard.

Seems like too much money has the same effect. Just give me 1 percent of what he has and I'll be the happiest person you'll ever know.

Yeah it'd be hard to be that rich if you didn't have any expensive dreams.

Have you bought a car with doors that open upwards? That's something rich people buy.

No those are billionaire doors. He already said he doesn't have as much a notch, so he can't afford those doors.

This guy sounds like a dumb fudge. He straight up sold out, made billions and expects people that merely worked for him to say thanks for something that should pretty much be expected

And complaining about a girl? Holy shame. Move on to the next playboy playmate. Eventually, probably sooner than later, you'll find a girl as equally cool.

And the dog holes who "made" him sell Minecraft was really just one. Benjamin Franklin x 25,000,000

no, i hate cars.  as a luxuray item i'd much sooner buy a boat.  but something like that doesn't actually make a person happier.  people were born to be discontent with things but when you no longer have something to blame your discontent on it is a strange place to be.  i was much happier right after my parents kicked me out and i was living below the poverty line but i had dreams of what i was going to do with my life.
