"I've been an activist my entire life, and started working on Needpedia around the time of the Occupy Movement. That experience made me realize that it is actually primitive and barbaric that there's no official archive for solutions to problems facing humanity. We can keep track of every legal mistake billions of people make in their entire lives, in perpetuity, without question, but if you want to see what ideas people have for solving problems that literally kill hundreds of thousands of people every year, nothing! I really think people are going to look back on that in awe."
"I live in a remote area in Pakistan far away from cities where I enjoy the peace and quiet and can focus on my work. I prefer having few people around me who are pure rather than a crowd where nobody cares. I am a problem solver and help people solve their problems using my skills in web development. I had a hard background, so I now work to make sure others don't have to. I've seen too much from a very young age, I have survived terrorism, wars, floods, and earthquakes. That's why I appreciate every day of my life."
