Thomas Forbes


Taking a gap semester from Georgetown to deal with health issues and work on personal projects.

Previously, I dropped out of my final year of high school to work at bestever.ai in sf.

My favorite feeling is finishing a long day of work and having something I can point to and say "I made that".

My second favorite feeling is to jump out of plane 🪂

There is a very common life cycle of greed and fear. It goes like this: First you assume good news is permanent. Then you become oblivious to bad news. Then you ignore bad news. Then you deny bad news. Then you panic at bad news. Then you accept bad news. Then you assume bad news is permanent. Then you become oblivious to good news. Then you ignore good news. Then you deny good news. Then you accept good news. Then you assume good news is permanent. And we’re back where we began. The cycle repeats.

Same as Ever by Morgan Housel
