Most of us feel this, but an Elon Musk or Bill Gates may find this thought of an alternate life foreign, or at least horrifying.


Funny, I'd think the other way. Everything I know about these guys is they constantly want an alternate life - and they work to make it happen.

They both could have "stopped" decades ago and have achieved more than 99.999999% of people who ever lived, but instead they are pushing against something different continuously.


Do they want an alternative self or an alternative world?


What's the difference? :)
