AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the idea of having a 10-year erase and rewind button in life, with a focus on career and financial decisions. Participants express a desire to approach their artistic careers with a more pragmatic mindset, emphasizing the importance of being business-savvy to achieve success. There is a humorous suggestion about using the rewind ability to inform oneself of winning lottery numbers and to claim significant patents as one's own. The conversation reflects a blend of regret and playful speculation about how different choices could have led to better outcomes in life and career.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
