This is Derek Sivers of CD Baby, right? I think he is unusually high-agency in a way I could not imagine myself being. Definitely not one of those people who I look at and say "I could have done that. Why didn't I?"
For instance, I could simply never see myself voluntary relinquishing American citizenship: https://sive.rs/xus
Getting booted out, yes. But giving it up, no chance.
Given that his behaviour is so far from what I would do, I think there are too few shared fundamentals for me to mimic him. So I think I'm not going to do the things he did.
To paraphrase what I recently said to someone I haven't seen in 25 years: one of the greatest gifts that ageing has given me is increased self awareness.
