hey, i'm hiteyjit.

i'm a neuroscientist, founder, filmmaker, builder of cool hardware, and ever so occasional philosopher. been building machines since i was 8 – first for myself, then a nonprofit i founded at 12 that scaled across three countries teaching kids to make their own.

somewhere in there i noticed the machine i cared most about was the one actually doing all the building; so, i pivoted into neuroscience @ uoft and then spent a year at harvard stimulating the hell out of some neurones. the one ground truth i've found though all this i've found is that people only believe what they can physically feel; every other medium is borrowing trust from that one.

if it were up to me, id change the laws of physics so its easier for me to decode inner thoughts. since i can't, i'm doing the next best thing by building beautiful instruments for the mind with some phenomenal people.

sf is now home #7. reach out if you're here + you make physical things (films count) + you're up for having your worldview argued with!

@avinashonrecord well, I actually meant that taste is a mobilizer of intention. you feel stronger towards action when it's driven by taste. in turn, it can also drive action towards truth, yes, but taste is what begins the cascade

@andrea_fanelli @juliazniv @khal_ism @maisonvyg not a bad idea 🤔 we could do something cool w a Maison series @khal_ism

@bscholl @ycombinator @boomsupersonic @Astranis @relativityspace i'm not surprised. the shift into actual physical space is how more people will feel the effects of whatever technological gains have been made in the past few years. not just humanoids, but everything. physicality is the only way you establish ground truth of something existing

@mathyouf @khal_ism @maisonvyg its a means to make evolution catch up to the current state of technology, and honestly the only way. brains aren't evolving fast enough. the fixes are all in isolated bubbles, and we're unifying it now.

@rhygentech this is what i mean when i say good soldering photos

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@andrea_fanelli really excited to the Maison resonating with more & more people. building deep tech from the ground up with this mentality impact so many of our decisions and they compound over time -- its invigorating

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@realwillreil we so back

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@khal_ism @wentoffscript @maisonvyg @wentoffscript the best :)

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@radbackwards bringing back the good old days... summer of 2016

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@_adishj notice how this one is a physical product? the physical medium is coming back, and its the best thing to capitalize on rn

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@_adishj everyone saying supermemory, but i think it'll be more related to the true mind. on-the-spot thinking, helping the real mind not some agents

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@jestonlu @NotionHQ would be dope to join 👀

[hiteyjit @hiteyjit]

@LocateMars @khal_ism @wentoffscript stay tuned, join the Maison :)
