Rebuilding from C++ (which was rebuilt from C) to Swift. Bare framework almost complete, then on to building basic functions and data.
Many different goals, but none seriously pursued, except 2 main ones that come to mind. Maybe a couple others pursued that have failed or gave up on.
1. "Save the world" / Make the world a better place. Started when a teenager with concerns, then growing vague and broad plans to locate and join as many efforts as possible. Was an obsession, and I spent my destroyed life trying to find any hope for mankind. Now have accepted that mankind is not only going to (almost definitely) destroy itself, but it is now happening. And if I had lived healthy, and had enough money for medical care, I would be part of the extinction, possibly.
Having accepted that finally, and especially finding basically no useful information and nobody working in the same direction, I can only look at the little kids of today, and be afraid of what their future holds. And knowing they will never reach my age.
Some very old notes :Work with others to preserve mankind. Mainly by making Earth a long term place to live, so we can work on colonizing other planets at a calm pace in a well planned fashion.Work with others to preserve planet Earth, all it's beauty (what's left) and living things.Restore as much as possible Earth's environment, and work on long term survival of the Earth.And so on like - eliminate hunger, poverty, hate, crime, etc. from the world as much as possible.
2. Suicide by 50, 60 if rich. This was developed in my 20's as a response to growing learning of how destroyed my life is. That is documented elsewhere on this site. The plan was to end my suffering by 50, as by that time I would have gotten so far with my first goal, that it would be time. However, if at the same time I managed to get rich - maybe not a millionaire, but more than enough money, that I would try and do things that would be normally very fun, if my life was not destroyed, but just trying to get the most out of it as possible. The specific goals of how I would have tried to enjoy, at least a little bit, have changed over the years, but not dramatically. Now there is no concern of trying to get any enjoyment out of life. I've broken this promise to myself, but am okay with it. And alright with continuing to live for a while, for reasons described elsewhere here.
3. Learn Dutch fluently, and forget English. Literally to the point of needing others to translate to/from English for me. Mostly I wanted to build the project in Dutch, and hopefully that would have help giving it a more neutral image. This was never realistic, especially since in an English oriented country, where others are so anxious to practice their English, or just make use of what they spent 7 years in school learning.
Don't know of any. Don't have many friends, so not surprising. With exception of friends in poverty and in need of medical or other care help and not getting it. They have goals of course to resolve their situations, but no time or resources, and reason not to publicly post about it.
