There are blue cables everywhere. It is like a forrest of blue cables that seemingly dangle randomly from the ceiling. There is stuff [boxes to be unpacked] everywhere. There junk [empty pizza cartons] everywhere. There is network generated heat everywhere. There is a map of the end-state network displayed on a huge table in the centre of the only open space: only one person can read this thing [the architect]. The architect is standing at the table with a tiger team, a set of visiting experts, the money folks, and his bosses; most times he is exasperated because none of them understand what he is saying.
People everywhere in this place [and on their sales missions beyond it] are accustomed to the fact that what they are saying does "not compute" with their closest colleagues inside the bubble or their clients who live outside a "nanosecond" culture. In part this problem persists because the ideas within a "nanosecond start-up" are "highly contestable". However it is not the ideas that must form some version of "group think": the real need is that the plan [with thousands of large and small alterations] lying on the table maps a new "nanosecond" network that is sustainable, reliable, revenue positive, expandable, and offers us a wormhole through to the future.
Living within a jungle of tiger teams, scrums, Friday sign-offs, Monday reset, audible battles over ideas, pizza meals 24/7, drug hang-outs, etc is a moment-by-moment ride of extreme highs and very low lows. This is a place full of "fears" [failure, success, being found out, getting trapped, etc] and "courage" [keeping going, doubling down, learning from success].
This is a workplace where "the next challenge" is what keeps people turning up. This place is where what has just been achieved is merely a stepping stone towards what can, and will, be accomplished within the next nanosecond and beyond.

A nanosecond life can only be enhanced by your version of minimal-you. You can discover your unique version of minimal-you in just ten days if you do three things. First, eliminate collective wants. Second, automate individual habits. Third, recreate personal beliefs. You can do it, but, you will need to be dedicated and disciplined to make it happen.
