HACK

To hack, to cut through with cleverness, to bend things to your will. Not the bad kind, the alive kind. When you're bored in a meeting, doodling on a napkin, that's hacking time. When you ignore the 'rules' and talk to strangers, that's hacking loneliness. Hyper Active Curious Kismet means you're built to see cracks, slip in, remake it better. Hack isn't destruction-it's mischief with meaning. You're not malfunctioning. You're meddling and the world needs more of that.
