In Q4 2017 I had a charming night in #NevadaCity. The narrow hilly roads of this small town that sprouted up as a result of the #GoldRush is populated by "health" and #conscious seeking hippies. (It was too far left for me, but I feel it's important to respect all legal belief systems and ways of life. I am middle of the road Democrat, and am into #RawJuice & #ScienceBased#Meditation.) I was there for an #EstateAcquisition and other reasons.
At a local restaurant, I was working on my laptop. A senior man arrived, and there was no seating. I looked at him, and told him that he could have mine, I was just wrapping up. (Even though I wasn't; he needed the seat more.)
I asked him about himself and he shared with me, what I felt was an inspiring story, at the time. Only after my 2018 court filings #against #fraud, I realized the #darker implications of what this man was referencing.
He stated that he had been a young bright engineer in the Bay Area, hired at a company that he believed was going to change the world. He said he felt passionate, and committed to his work with a world class genius team.
He said it wasn't until the past some years, when he had the time to reflect upon his life.
His tone reminded me of #TuesdaysWithMorrie https://amzn.to/47EAU0I.
He stated that he reviewed what the company he worked for was doing. He said he was still bound by #NDA, but that the corporation he believed was helping humanity, was actually #hurting people, behaving #unscrupulously. This is all he would say, as he shook his head in #disagreement with their actions and looked down at his feet to my #right, indicating that he was accessing how he #felt about their acts.
He then lifted his face, and looked at my eyes, imploring and apologetic. He looked like what reminded me of hospital patients where in TBI, cannot speak, and he was trying to convey a deep message with his eyes and emotions alone.
He said he had been going through a personal life inventory, and apologizing to the people that had been hurt by this company, as a result of the tech he helped invent and develop.
He then switched the topic. He was NDA, and had gotten as close as he was legally capable of.
