17, South of France.
Building my way out of ever needing a résumé.
Documenting every move.

[auxetan @avxetan]

I’m 17.

I should probably be studying for the French baccalaureate.

Instead, I’m building products until I can live from them.

And I’m going to document absolutely everything until it works.

Being reachable 24/7 is one of the worst things we ever normalized.

Someone texts you and, even if you don’t answer, the message doesn’t really disappear. It just sits somewhere in your head. You remember it while eating, while working, while watching something, sometimes three hours later for absolutely no reason. Then another person messages. Then a group chat. Then an email. None of them are necessarily important, but somehow every unanswered notification feels like a tiny open tab you’re responsible for closing.

And the weirdest part is that we now treat instant access to someone as completely normal. If you reply quickly for a while, people quietly start expecting that version of you. Take a few hours and suddenly you feel like you need a reason. “Sorry, just saw this.” “Sorry, busy day.” We’ve somehow reached a point where simply not being available requires an explanation, even though for most of human history people could literally disappear for an afternoon and nobody assumed anything was wrong.

The problem isn’t the phone itself. It’s the invisible obligation that comes with it. You can technically be alone while still carrying ten unfinished conversations around with you. Free time stops feeling fully free because part of your attention is permanently reserved for people who might contact you. And because every individual interruption seems tiny, you rarely notice how exhausting the total thing becomes.

Maybe that’s why putting your phone away can feel weirdly peaceful even when nothing stressful was happening on it. For once, nobody can suddenly enter your attention just because they decided to.

We made everyone permanently accessible, then somehow started feeling guilty for wanting to be left alone.

We’ve turned our entire lives into dashboards, and I think it’s quietly making us worse at actually living them. A run isn’t just a run anymore, it has a pace, heart rate, distance and performance score. Sleep has a score. Work has hours tracked. Social media has views and followers. Even hobbies somehow end up becoming streaks, rankings, milestones or something you’re supposed to improve at.

The weird part is that measuring things is genuinely useful, which is probably why it becomes so easy to overdo. Numbers give you feedback and make progress visible. But after a while, the measurement can slowly replace the thing itself. You stop asking whether you enjoyed the run and start asking whether it was fast enough. You stop writing because you had something interesting to say and start wondering whether it will perform. You stop learning because you’re curious and start collecting proof that you’re getting ahead.

I think this changes your relationship with progress in a pretty unhealthy way. Anything that doesn’t produce a visible number starts feeling almost worthless. Reading something with no immediate use feels unproductive. Spending an afternoon with friends has nothing to show for it. Trying something you’re terrible at gives you awful metrics. So without really noticing, you start selecting activities that make the dashboard look good instead of activities that make your life interesting.

And the irony is that some of the most valuable things are incredibly hard to measure while they’re happening. Taste, curiosity, relationships, judgment, creativity, confidence, even knowing what you actually want. There’s no clean graph telling you they improved 13% this month, which makes them easy to neglect in a world obsessed with visible progress.

Numbers are great at telling you how you’re doing at the game you chose.

They’re terrible at telling you whether you chose the right game.

How do you want the international community to respect a country such as the USA when its Vice President is a modern colonialist and a close friend of some very problematic people on this planet. #epsteinmentioned #unclebennetanyahu

France is flexing €6B of Saudi capital like it’s proof we’re winning.

At what point does FDI stop being investment and start becoming leverage?

Let’s be clear: €6B invested in France, 22K jobs, more tourism, more infra, more economic activity. That’s objectively a huge W. Rejecting foreign capital just because it’s foreign would be stupid, and the fact that KSA is willing to deploy billions here means France is still attractive enough to win major international projects.

But that’s not the part that worries me. The problem starts when foreign sovereign capital becomes something we NEED rather than something we simply welcome. Saudi Arabia is doing exactly what a powerful state should do: deploying capital abroad, buying assets, building strategic relationships and increasing its economic influence. There’s nothing irrational about that. They’re playing for their own interests.

The uncomfortable question is why France increasingly seems better at attracting other countries’ money than mobilizing enough of its own. We celebrate foreign billions creating our jobs, financing our infra and building our next mega-projects, while our own public finances leave less room for ambitious domestic investment. That gap matters, because capital isn’t neutral forever. The more dependent you become on someone else’s money, the more leverage you eventually give them.

So yes, this deal is a W. Take the €6B. Create the 22K jobs. Build the parks.

But “Choose France” can’t just mean becoming the best place for foreign states to deploy their capital.

The real flex is being attractive enough for the world to invest in you, while still being rich and sovereign enough to invest in yourself.

Let’s get one thing straight: Dragon Ball is peak fiction and I will not be taking questions. 🔥🔥

So if Saudi Arabia is going to drop €6B into France, at least part of it is going toward bringing the greatest entertainment franchise ever made to life.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still worried about what this level of foreign investment means for France’s economic sovereignty, as I said here: https://t.co/wXyPXJs2kY

But if we’re gonna get economically cooked in the process, I’d rather watch it happen from Kame House.

Le problème n’est pas que l’Arabie saoudite investisse 6 milliards en France, c’est qu’on commence à confondre attractivité et souveraineté.

Oui, 22 000 emplois, davantage de tourisme, d’activité économique et un projet d’envergure mondiale à Cergy-Pontoise, c’est objectivement une très bonne nouvelle. Refuser un investissement pareil simplement parce qu’il est saoudien serait absurde, mais il faut aussi regarder ce que cette annonce raconte de notre économie.

Le PIF saoudien a déjà investi 8,6 milliards de dollars en France entre 2017 et 2024, a ouvert un bureau à Paris et considère désormais la France comme un marché prioritaire. Qiddiya, qui finance ce projet, appartient justement à ce fonds souverain.

Et ce n’est évidemment pas de la charité. L’Arabie saoudite utilise son capital pour investir à l’étranger, acquérir des actifs, développer son influence économique et préparer son avenir pendant que nous célébrons chaque nouveau milliard étranger venu financer des emplois et des projets sur notre propre territoire.

C’est là que se situe la vraie question : une économie forte attire les capitaux étrangers parce qu’elle le veut, une économie fragile finit par les attendre parce qu’elle en a besoin. Attirer des investissements est une force, devenir incapable de financer soi-même ses grands projets en est une autre.

Alors oui, c’est une excellente nouvelle pour l’emploi français et il faut savoir attirer ce genre de capitaux. Mais Choose France ne doit jamais finir par devenir « Please finance France ».
