July 11, 2026 — I know the new thing I'm working on will be my work for the next 10 - 40 years.
I say this having worked on the Scroll stuff for 13 years.
I went into that completely naive. No idea of what I was stumbling into.
Of how hard it would be, how winding, how fun, how interesting.
It is through that work that I ended up in Seattle at Microsoft; to program synthesis and $; to Hawai'i and Kaia and Pemma.
Being a dad and feeling the responsibility for the world our kids live in led me to the new thing.
I tried to make a difference with Scroll, but it wasn't enough. The new thing is 4 dimensional, uses no screens, is not digital. As much as I love Scroll, from a pure math perspective the new thing is easily 100x bigger.
It's been 2 years since I realized the new work was the most important work for me to focus on.
Unlike with Scroll, I have gone into this carefully, deliberately, trying to ensure I use everything I have learned to do it right, with others, aligned with capital.
But just as with Scroll, I'm dong this with everything I have, a pure heart, deep whole body conviction, and I know that we will if nothing else, will this thing into existence.
If you know, you know.
