The person

The answer to "who are you, really?"

Ojus Kapoor — tech consultant, hobby pilot, and stand-up comedian based in Dallas, Texas

I am most myself when I don't know who I am.

I grew up curious. The curiosity has only deepened. Thinking is both a gift and an inconvenience, I'm still learning which, and when.

I work as a tech consultant in Dallas. I help companies think clearly about messy systems. The work is more philosophical than it sounds.

I do stand-up. For me, humor is philosophy that figured out timing.

As a hobby pilot, I fly a Cessna. At five thousand feet, something fundamental shifts. There is no past. No future.

I find reading meditative, and think of it as the seed that germinates into novel ideas. Camus carried me through my late twenties. We'll see who carries me through my thirties.

I have come to believe the only real wealth is the depth of a few bonds. Everything else is weather.

The best parts of being alive resist being summarized. So I'll stop trying any harder.
