These are people which Ciro never met personally, and who might not know that Ciro exists, or might never had any direct 1-2-1 online contact with Ciro, but Ciro is convinced are his brothers in some other dimension due to how many opinions or behaviours he feels they share:
- Dan Dascalescu due to articles such as:
- English as a universal language by Dan Dascalescu (2008)
- www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/9oujwf/why_archiving_old_threads_is_a_bigger_problem/ see also online forums that lock threads after some time are evil

Some other idealists that are a bit further out but with some similarities:
Ciro Santilli also things of those people as being part of his 108 Stars of Destiny troupe.
Ciro sometimes ponders why is it so hard to find people online that you truly love and admire. Maybe it is for similar reasons why it is also hard in the real world: the great variety of human interest, and the great limitation of our attention spans. But online, where we have access to "everyone", shouldn't it should be easier? Not naturally finding such people is perhaps one of the greatest failings of our education system.

Working hard to make the Internet more complete.
One day Ciro Santilli got an upvote on his answer to "How to use Git bisect?". As often happens, he had a second look at the question and his answer. But weird thing showed up: the question was now open again, and he was certain that some stupid closurist had previously closed it. Upon looking at stackoverflow.com/posts/4713088/timeline, he saw that it was Gabriel that had started the successful reopen vote. - github.com/sponsors/ElectricRCAircraftGuy:
I'd really like to work on open source projects more, but the need for a full-time job makes that difficult. If you can sponsor me, you help me get one step closer to my dream of not having to work a traditional "day job" anymore, so I can contribute more to the open source community, do more to educate, and do more to confront new and challenging ideas.
- x.com/eRCaGuy/status/1305275684592340992: it's hard to say if he's joking about actually getting a reply from Bezos or if he thinks it might actually happen:
I emailed Jeff Bezos today about some concerns I've been having selling on #Amazon. We'll see if he responds. Hopefully in my email I come across respectful. I think my point #3 (that sellers having negative experiences affects their recruiting) is a real, legitimate concern.
