✋🏽Hello. My name is Amin Eftegarie. I was born in Iran 🇮🇷, grew up in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, and now I live in Bangkok 🇹🇭. I like dogs, machines, and a select few humans. Check my Now page to see what I'm up to. When I come across something interesting, I often post it on my Twitter.
About me
I'm a lifelong learner and I love to follow my curiosity, wherever that leads me
I once built and sold a company with a small international cult following, it did $450K in revenue in its first year, and a lot more later
I was born in Iran in under unfavourable circumstances, and entered The Netherlands as a refugee shortly after birth, where I've lived ever since
I'm inspired by people who come from the gutter
I did not finish high school, nor college
I've edited Wiktionary and Wikipedia since 2015 (despite disliking the platform), most of my contributions pertain to finance and biology
I don't have a drivers license (I hate cars)
I had a messy childhood, so I find most norms unrelatable
I am in favor of free markets, and freedom of speech
I feel like the universe is conspiring to help me, on the condition that I do cool things that benefit other people.
I've been to 26 countries
I'm banned from entering Cambodia for criticising the country
I'm a Georgist, and favor a Land Value Tax
